In the many fields of heaven he runs With the sun, roses and wild flowers He quotes dreams of his given days and loves all, all the hours. He lived, he slept, he loved he wept for every single breath he said be long,for his will was strong we'll wait for him in death. Growing, he spent time by our side He never truly left our place and he wished us a big life Within his up most grace. He lived, he slept, he loved he kept a close eye to our hearts for all the wildest flowers and the sun Gathered none to part. He is the glory of our days, in particular those of the Rising star, for all the beauty that he possessed, was a flower all but one. His grace and love lives on beyond the timing of his death, for we are strong and so be long, he gave us his last breath. FARE THEE WELL DIRECTOR EDDIE. © Bunguswa Brian ™
