GIRBY
BY Monica Gonzales

My dad he lived a simple life but he was not a simple man
He made some wild choices no one could understand.
My dad was full of life and love the kind you can't replace,
And when that man would look at us you could see it in his face.
I always got to tell him about all the times I cried I even got to tell him about some of the times I lied.
But no matter the conversation he always had wise words, Even if sometimes he talked to loud cuz he thought he was never heard.
He always had a story on any given day about what he did and how he helped if even in a little way.
My dad was strong and never weak and always on the go.
There wasn't anywhere he went that he
didn't bring the show.
He talked of all his loves in life and the beauty of every tree.
Daddy why'd your story stop why did you have to leave me.
You fought so long and hard you were brave until the end.
And even though the sickness got you your will would never bend.
Now you've left it up to us to keep your story strong
Your love, your life, your words of cherish even at times I was wrong.
We grew together as people in oh so many ways.
No matter what you taught me you're the one that always stays.
I miss the times you'd yell at me when I would go too fast.
It's only now I realize you were trying to say things just don't last.
I'm not sad about the things we didn't do just for all the things we won't get done.
But in the end when I look at you I know we had our fun.
No one can ever replace you, you were legit one of a kind.
You are so beautiful, body, spirit and mind.
I will love you always until my dying breath, and that is when you'll come and take me, when I have nothing left.

Uncle Judge brought laughter and a big personally everywhere he went. When I played music out for the first time. He was there and was the loudest person. Made that small venue feel like a stadium.
