In Loving Memory

Kept waiting for the call...
You know, the one that said it was just a joke
It's not real...
Auntie Vickie...
But then...
Why Lord...Why now...
I'm sorry Lord
I'm not to question why
So...
On to goodbye...
Not in spirit...But in the physical
Can remember you and Tee...
The times I watched you play basketball...
Such a happy child, but even then deep in thought...
Full of ideas...
Full of light...
A quiet inspiration to those around you...whether family or friend...
Though not here with us long you left your mark...
Your mark on your peers...
Your mark on your family...
Your mark on me...
Don't have to wonder if you knew I love you...
I know you did...
Now it's up to us to carry on your legacy
To make sure your children never forget what a wonderful man their father was...
Gone but not forgotten...
Your spirit lives within us...
Rest In Peace Tommy...
I love you...
