Today, I have lost everything,

And yet, I am a wealthy man.

Today, I feel grief’s ache and sting,

And yet, I am a wealthy man.

I’ve lost my father and my friend,

And yet, your life will stay with me.

I shall not sit with you again,

And yet, you shall remain with me.

All that you gave is mine to keep,

And make my own as I go forth,.

You shall not fade, you shall not sleep,

I speak your name with no remorse,

I hold you close, and always will, 

In all I do and who I am.

I loved you then, I love you still,

For this, I am a wealthy man.
