From Uncle Terry To Me
It was a sad day a very sad day
When my Uncle Terry "Willy" Gannon passed away
Me and my dad arrived a little late
As we touched down on the tarmac on Dublin Airport
He gave his last couple of huff puffs
All the while fighting to see another day
One wonders even though Terry was surrounded by all his family here in Ireland
Was he thinking about me and my dad wondering if we'll get here on time
To see him and tell him how much we love him
Before he passes into the afterlife
But even though he passed before we got there
At least we got to say goodbye both me and my dad both had tears in our eyes
I was left with sad memories and a heavy heart
I knew he wasn't going to get better because of his disease called MSA
Or otherwise known as Multiple system atrophy
I slowly had to watch my uncle wither away into nothingness a shell of his former self
But while he was alive we always reminded him constantly of the good times
And not the bad
After hearing and seeing for possibly the last time
I went to sleep after having a restless sleep on the plane
And even though Uncle Terry "Willy" Gannon was gone and never coming back
After waking up from my big sleep I looked out of my window
And saw pass the cow pasture and up on top of a hill
A rainbow in all of it's wonderful glory of red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and violet
Even from heaven it's my firm believe that my Uncle Terry was trying to cheer me up
