Eddie

11 years.
Is that all it has been?
Since you left us to main event above.


I remember that night,
In my young, coddled world,
Struggling to accept why you had to go.


I remember your smile,
I remember your laugh, 
And thank you for all the ones you gave to me.


As I age, so does my love
For your talent, your charisma,
Your passion, your heart. 


Your name still rings,
Across the arenas of the world,
Our chords straining with admiration. 

I strive to be the example you set,
Of hard work, endurance, and effort,
And hope that one day I achieve that goal.


I miss you, Eddie.
