Remembering...

It Doesn’t Get Much Better

Beneath the desert sun
You felt God’s gentle breeze,
It doesn’t get much better
Than to live life as you please–

You’ve gone to the other side
You’ve paid your mortal dues,
It doesn’t get much better
Then to walk the road you choose?

You have no sad regrets
Your kids will be just fine,
Paula’s love your inner glow
Your soul mate throughout time–

It doesn’t get much better
There’s nothing more to blame,
You’ve walked this Earth a lucky man
You have nothing to complain–

Your friends have been your source
Of laughter in your life,
Your family ‘s always supported you
When you faced your times of strife–

Many people have called you
A titan among men,
But you simply smelled the roses
Right up until the end–

You want no saddened eyes
You want us all to live,
You left us with your heart
That’s the best gift you could give–

Although you’ve left our sight
We know you’ll be just fine,
We’ll see you in the future
And I’ll play you the back nine–

Your friends,
John & Susan Keating
