Posted by David Grace on FB the day of Carl's death. Very touching tribute to this wonderful man. Thanks David.
Carl Brown - (David Grace 3/18/12 Greenfield, Ma)
Carl Brown was a man i know
from down Alabama way
not sure how to deal with the news
that his soul passed from here today
to some folks he was a teacher
to others he was a really cool dude
but that fact is that he lived his life
with the right kind of attitude
you never know how long you'll be here
when your time on earth is done
so you have to live life every day
treat every person as a special one
this is what i got from Carl
he could see beyond the mist
and find potential in most every one
enhanced with just a twist
i'm crying here but i know somewhere
Carl looks down on us now
hoping that we remember him
share his memory and wow
selfishly i wish that i had got in
just one strong hug of love
if only to say farewell my friend
it's you our memories will be of
Try to think it not an empty hole
That Carl leaves in his wake
rather it is an infinite mist of times
with us we forever take.
:(
Thank you, David - as always, you are a true artisan with words. Very well said.
