You know, it's true what they say
That people don't realize what they have
Until it's gone.
I try, I want to contemplate
Just how the value of a man
Is measured.
I know, it cannot be in years,
For I have known great men of both old
and young.
Regrets, I try not to think about them
I would give anything for one more simple hug
just one.
Go on, they think they encourage me
They do not know my greatest fear
Is to forget.

I will not forget.  I will live - his legacy will not be lost.
