Uncle Bert was really something special. And special is like the Moon. It's like a spirit which keeps coming around. This is for Uncle Bert and his children's children.
The Spirit
Uncle Bert was laid to rest
with honors, flag and song.
He lived his life fully,
he's remembered young and strong.
He chose his battles wisely
and met them all head on.
He fought them all fairly,
hard to think that he is gone.
Tomorrow night's a full moon
and if the sky is clear,
you'll look up and realize,
that Uncle Bert's still here.
None of us, truly loved,
ever fully go away.
A spirit partly lingers on
a portion always stays.
Every time the name is spoken
that spark will still be here.
As if it is awoken
to dry away your tears.
with honors, flag and song.
He lived his life fully,
he's remembered young and strong.
He chose his battles wisely
and met them all head on.

hard to think that he is gone.
Tomorrow night's a full moon

you'll look up and realize,
that Uncle Bert's still here.
None of us, truly loved,
ever fully go away.
A spirit partly lingers on
a portion always stays.
Every time the name is spoken
that spark will still be here.
As if it is awoken
to dry away your tears.
