I knew your type, tall, proud, and handsome

Extorting love from any eye that looked your way

You were clearly strong, an alpha male

I was visiting yet, I wondered if I should stay

My how quick I soon seen your stubborn side

Your home had many chairs for guests

Yet as I moved to sit down quietly

I learned that chair was yours… as were all the rest!

You didn’t seem to mind so much

In fact you insisted that we share

As long as I would praise your name

And massage my hands throughout your hair

When I heard you needed a place to stay

Having just lost my love of years

I didn’t think I had the room

To love or even care

I hesitantly agreed to help

I wasn’t sure how this would go

Right now I didn’t know you well

I hoped our friendship would grow

The day you moved your stuff all in

Still not sure how this would work

You showed up bringing your family in

Your brother who began to lurk

I thought wow, I’m nuts, just look at those two

So handsome yes they know

As they chose their separate rooms to sleep

I wondered how this would go

Before I knew true love set in

No one ever loving my family more

These two have offered all their love

Unconditional from the day they blessed my door

Today one love was heaven called

God called you home to stay

You stayed as long as your body could

And for our love you hide your pain

It was so hard to say good bye to you

As we never felt pain like this before

You love was all we could ever need

And if possible so much more

Big guy you know how much we loved you

I know your pain is now gone away

Please keep your spirit close to us

Until we meet again one day
