joseph flynn (1955-2009)

from wedding cheers to sorrow and tears.
life so bipolar and so unclear.

one moment of bliss, one moment of laughs,
and poof! its gone so damn fast.

"i wish" lingers in my mind,
whilst sitting here so left behind.

regrets cease not to cloud my attention,
and "if only" surpasses my comprehension.

stuck in these moments of a new direction,
leading me further than what i expected.

time feels so rushed and belated,
and happiness appears to be faded.

emotions so rapid and lost within feelings.
feeling as if there could be no healing.

reality lost in isolation...
my head pounding from concentration....

yet ive established that from history of men,
most certainly the best was you, joseph flynn.

a father, a husband, and the greatest of friends,
is shy of what i can simply pen.

and after today and the days past,
youve painted pictures that will forever last.

i only pray that wherever you are, now your content.
because here on earth you were heaven sent.
