Flight Past the Sun

We had no idea it would be the last time y'all would climb aboard a plane

And we are left with many questions, so much hurt and unbearable pain

But your laugh will always echo and your smiles will shine forever

While we cry; we will focus on all the time we enjoyed together

Who could've ever known a flight to the Land of Cheese

Would turn into landing safely in the Land of Perfect Peace?

But God knew today you would make your flight way past the sun

So many great memories made and a legacy of the races you both have run

Two of the truly good guys always quick to joke and laugh

This just doesn't add up, but His is different from our math

So, we will simply trust and know in Heaven you're flying high

Even though none of us were ready to say our final good bye

You may have enjoyed tossing back a few cold ones by the pool, but you had the warmest heart

We will miss you more than words can say in the days we are apart

No doubt y'all are cutting up, with each swing, on 18 holes

I bet you get unlimited mulligans, and the bunkers are beautiful, in the Land where no one grows old

You will live on in your children and grand-children's eyes~ each memory in your wife's mind

Thank you for the love you gave, lessons you taught and being so very kind.
