He'll be gone from me 2 years May 14. He fought, loved and lived hard. He loved me the best he could.
The "old man" in this song reflects him, and his outlook, so much... My ability to see something from next to nothing, see the "brighter side", fight for wrongs and not feel sorry for myself for too long came from him. The tightest hugs I've ever felt came from him...not the kind of hug that's pulling back at the same time...the half hug. The biggest laugh and meanest growl flowed easily from him. I loved him very much. I miss him. I still see his eyes...dancing when they look at his "Kimmy Dawn". Artist/Band: Diffie Joe Lyrics for Song: Ships That Don't Come In Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits I could tell he'd had a tough life By the way he sat and stared And me, I'd come to push and shove So I pulled up a chair. We talked of roads untraveled We talked of love untrue Of strings that come unraveled We were kings and kindred fools And just when I'd hit bottom That old man raised his glass And said at least we had our chances There's those who never have. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in. He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other's scars 'Cuz the things we're calling heartache Hell, they're hardly worth our time We ***** about a dollar When there's those without a dime. And as he ordered one last round He said I guess we can't complain God made life a gamble And we're still in the game. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in.

(((((((((( extra for those missing mommy or daddy )))))))))) Thank you so much for the thoughts and love. He's been gone two years today and the memories and thought surrounding his horrible death and the awful people around him before are so vivid and strong with me. KD
