HIS SHADOW EXTENDED HALF WAY DOWN THE ROAD
HIS SHOULDER BROAD AND THOUGHT UNTOLD,
HE DEMANDED RESPECT FROM FRIENDS AND FOES ALIKE
BUT TO KNOW HIM ,YOUD HAVE TO LIKE.
A TALL MAN,MUSCELLED AND STRONG
SET FORTH TO SET RIGHT ALL OTHERS WRONGS.
A TEDDY BEAR IN DISGUISE,YOU COULD SEE THE LOVE DEEP IN HIS EYES.
HE GAVE TILL HED HURT
AND IT NEVER BOTHERED HIM
WHEN FROM A FRIEND HED GET BURNT.
HE SERVED HIS COUNTRY SO BRAVE AND TRUE.
ONLY CARING FOR FOLK LIKE ME AND YOU.
HIDING HIS OWN PAIN
SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT GAIN.
HE WALKED TALL
MAKING OTHERS FEEL SMALL
HE WALKED TALL
GIVING TO OTHERS HIS ALL
DESERTED AND LEFT ALONE
FOR HIS SINS HE WOULD ATONE
THEN CAME THE DAY,AS I KNELT BY HIS BED,
I REMEMBERED HIS LAST WORDS TO ME HE SAID.
LIFE IS TO SHORT ,TO WORRY OR CRY
LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST,TILL YOU DIE.
GIVE TO OTHERS AND ASK NOT ANY RETURN
GIVE THEM LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING IN WHICH INSIDE YOUR SOUL DOES BURN,
HE WALKED TALL
YET WAS GENTLE AS A TEDDY BEAR
HE WALKED TALL
FOR OTHERS HE ALWAYS WOULD CARE
NOW AS TIME COMES TO TAKE HIM AWAY
AND I BEG GOD,OH PLEASE LET HIM STAY,
I REMEMBER THE LOVE HE HAD IN HIS HEART
A LOVE THAT SET HIM APART
I WALK TALL
BUT WITH MEMORIES STILL IN MY HEART
I WALK TALL
FOR ITS HIS LOVE THAT GAVE ME A NEW START
I LOOK TOWARD THE SKY
AS TEARS STREAM FROM MY EYES
THEN I PUSH FORWARD
AS HE TAUGHT ME TO DO
I WALK TALL
I TRY TO FILL HIS SHOES
I WALK TALL
THEN FALL TO MY KNEES
I PLACE THE FLOWERS ON HIS GRAVE
AND SAY A PRAYER FOR THOSE HED SAVED
HE WALKED TALL
AND HE LEFT HIS MARK
I NOW WALK TALL
AS HE WALKED TALL
FOREVER IN MY HEART
DEDICATED TO THE GREATEST MAN I HAVE EVER HAD THE HONOR OF KNOWING.I CANNT ACCEPT WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH OR THE HOLE YOULL LEAVE IN SO MANY HEARTS,BUT IM ETERNALLY GRATEFULL FOR THE HOLES YOUVE FILLED IN SO MANY LIFES.YOUR THE GREATEST UNCLE,MAN,FRIEND ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE.
