Vincent

This day on Earth is so much grayer
celebrating his short life doesn't seem fair,
we'll all miss the way he laughed and joked
proving he was always there.

He had a different sense of humor
that was available to all of us,
we may not have always got the joke
but then, he never would've pitched a fuss.

He always just sort of had
a different kind of view,
his outlook wasn't shared by all...
..in fact, by very few.

Plagued with his own personal set
of burdens that weigh us all down,
when asked how he was, he'd just smile and say... "Middlin",
I can't remember him ever wearing a frown.

A gentle soul, and good natured, too
but he'd have liked making his own "list";
his time on Earth was way too short,
indeed Vincent, will be sorely missed.
