Jimmy

The road was heavy and the night was cold

I had a weary spirit and an empty soul

But Jimmy, you didn't let me walk alone

You opened up your door and made your house my home

When I was at the bottom, when I needed it most

You and your family stepped in and kept me close

You were a shelter when the rain came down

The most caring heart that I have ever found

I see the loving father that you are each day

The way you lift up others in a selfless way

For the life you shared and the friend you’ve been

I will always love you, Jimmy, to the end

I watch you lead your family with a gentle hand

A steady foundation where they safely stand

You give without asking, you pour out your soul

You helped pick up the pieces and you made me whole

You gave me a seat at your table of grace

And showed me that kindness is a physical place

You were a shelter when the rain came down

The most caring heart that I have ever found

I see the loving father that you are each day

The way you lift up others in a selfless way

For the life you shared and the friend you’ve been

I will always love you, Jimmy, to the end

When I was broken, you gave me your time

When I was falling, you held onto the line

This is a gratitude words can barely hold

A story of mercy that has to be told

I’ll carry this bond wherever I go

I just need to make sure that you know

You were a shelter when the rain came down

The most caring heart that I have ever found

I see the loving father that you are each day

The way you lift up others in a selfless way

For the life you shared and the friend you’ve been

I will always love you, Jimmy, to the end

Yes, I will always love you, Jimmy, my friend
