TROY

 

The call came in late last week

That Troy  had passed away

The  world stopped for a moment

And even to this day.....

It’s still unbelievable

He’s with us no more

But it’s comforting to know

Troy is with our Lord.

 

Looking back on our lives

To when he was a kid

He always was so very bright

A fact he kept well hid...

Rubik’s Cube or crosswords

He could do them all

Should have been famous

His name on a Wall.

 

Happy-go- lucky, always

A smile on his face

Never mind the demons

He often had to chase....

He faced his bullies unafraid

His faith in God was strong

And he never faltered

He knew right from wrong.

 

His best friend was his mother

Who, for forty-one long years

Stood right there beside him

Helped to still his fears....

They gave to one another

Unconditional love

And when their strength failed

It was sent from up above.

 

Now he’s gone forever

Tho his memory lingers on

Like a butterfly, he hovers

From a sad dusk until dawn....

We ask our God “Why?”

But he’s not answered yet

Because Troy and Jesus Christ

Have only just now met.

 

The days & nights pass slowly

The light has faded fast

And we cry, remembering

When we saw him last......

A peace will soon reappear

And we will all accept

That Troy was an Angel

We will NEVER, EVER forget.
