Bryan's Song

Bryan's Song

by Bud Lemire on March 22, 2012

I remember the time like a long ago dream

At first you had lived in a house colored green

Your Mom married, and you moved to a house of yellow

I remember you friend, as a very nice fellow

Playing football in your front yard was lots of fun

Steve Martin and my brother John, joined in the run

The Ferrari's were friends that you always knew

Keith Pomeroy was in your neighborhood too

I also remember Hide N' Seek outside at night

We played in your yard without any light

I'd spend the night at your house, or you at mine

Wherever we were, we had a good time

Your nickname was “Booger,” which didn't fit you at all

But to me you were Bryan, whenever you'd call

Even as a kid, you always had a lot of responsibility

The world seemed to rest on your shoulders, it seemed to me

Looking after your younger sister Pam, you stayed close to home

But on the other days, you were free to roam

We had lots of fun in our neighborhood

My memories of those times makes me feel good

You were a good person who had a good soul

In this lifetime, you were an honor to know

Carrying your responsibility all through your life

A family was formed, and you took on a wife

Stress can be so hard on people in the world today

It's hard on our bodies, but I know you'll be okay

You've returned to the place all souls go to

Now that your time on Earth is through

You spend time in the company of Angels, you can't go wrong

I honor your life as a dear friend, so this is your song

Dedicated to my dear friend Bryan Fletcher.

I remember so many fun times we've had together as kids.

Thank you for being part of them
