Even Though You’re Gone

I’ll never know what happened,
or answer these questions,
but I know that it’s not the end,
so in these redemption's
my life is going to bend.

Perhaps life was egregious,
but the smiles you gave
were never facetious
and when needed you were brave
though a bit promiscuous

Even though you’re gone
no matter how long
your remnants live on
in lives and in hearts and in song
you’ve even left spawn.

I never thought I’d be this strong
and even though you’re gone
I promise to carry your memory on
Giving hope to those wronged,
smiling, and loving those ladies long.

Written in loving memory of Jonathan David Tribbey
