Keith

I still remember the day you were born

How you took to your mother, so safe and so warm

You’d bend over backwards to answer the call

Ready to help anyone when they fall

A fierce protector right from the start

Moving through life with a wide-open heart

Oh, Keith, I miss that cocky little smile

Your beautiful laugh that could stretch for a mile

You could brighten any room that you walked inside

My son, my best friend, my joy and my pride

I feel you with me, even when we're apart

I'll forever carry you right here in my heart

You’d give up the very last dollar you had

The shirt off your back just to make someone glad

So much compassion in all that you’d do

A soft spot for animals, loyal and true

Now you and Mr. Buttons are walking ahead

That little wiener dog, the best friend you had

Oh, Keith, I miss that cocky little smile

Your beautiful laugh that could stretch for a mile

You could brighten any room that you walked inside

My son, my best friend, my joy and my pride

I feel you with me, even when we're apart

I'll forever carry you right here in my heart

Your legacy lives in the children you raised

In the grandchildren growing, through all of their days

You watched over our family, so fierce and so kind

Leaving a lifetime of beauty behind

Every single day, I know you are near

I just close my eyes and your spirit is here

Oh, Keith, I miss that cocky little smile

Your beautiful laugh that could stretch for a mile

You still brighten the room from the other side

My son, my best friend, my joy and my pride

I feel you with me, we're never apart

I'll forever carry you right here in my heart
