"Grizz"
Dedicated to the memory of my "Soul Mate"


You loved the road and your truck

You loved your boys and you loved me.

You loved life and lived it full

You took it all whatever “it” might be.


Grizz, I miss you & I still love you so

I feel your presence so many times.

When I’m sad, your arm is around me

When I’m happy I feel your smile with mine.


My life is good, and I’m content

But I miss the times we used to share.

Holding hands as we walked at night

I felt so safe, with you there.


I miss the nights out on the road

We’d sit on a blanket and watch the stars.

Looking up with awe and wonder

Knowing full well, the world was ours


They named you Grizz when I was sixteen

The wind had blown your long hair

You were so very tall and large,

You looked just like a grizzly bear


But a Grizzly bear in looks alone,

Your big hands could knock out a horse

Or hold a baby so gentle and soft

You were very much a soft and kind sort


If I had life to live, once again

I’d change nothing, when it comes to you

Knowing full well I’d lose you too soon;

The precious time we had, would do.
