Selflessness, caring.

My Amigo led the way,

And every hand he held

Is raised in love today.

 

Giving, telling.

My Amigo is wont to say,

And every heart is breaking,

As our friend has gone away.

 

Help me count the lives he touched,

Help me understand, and

Help us hold the memory of

This kind and gentle man.

 

I lift a glass to you my friend

In thanks for all you’ve done.

Your gifts will never leave us.

Your amigos, every one.
