In Loving Memory of my Uncle Nelvin McClure

TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND

People came from miles around,
To say goodbye to the sweetest man in town.
He wasn't just a husband, an Uncle and a Father,
He was a friend to many and unlike any other.
He always had a smile on His face,
And to his family he gave a warm embrace.
He was one of a kind,
A real rare jewel.
He always knew how to make you smile,
When life was hard and sometimes cruel.
He was my buddy and I will never forget,
All those times he picked on me,
But I know it was in jest.
He was such a kind and gentle man,
Always there to lend a helping hand.
He always told me that if he didn't pick on me,
I would think he didn't like me.
He always knew how to set my heart free.
He left behind five great kids and a wonderful wife,
But only for a little while,
They will see you in the next life.
I thank God that you knew Him and can't wait to be,
Right beside you by the crystal sea.
