I
UNCLE JOE
Is it important
To think about then
When time after time
Our minds take us
Back there again
These thoughts
Which have brought us
To who and what we’ve become
And leave us wondering
About that special someone
Who may have influenced
Our years months and days
With memories of them
Crashing like Rockaway waves
Are you surprised to see me
I asked with a smile
No these eyes have
Been following you
For quite a long while
As he spoke through his grin
Your father my brother
You are so very much him
Well that may be so
Then I held his right hand
And I whispered these words
To my dear uncle Joe
Honest to goodness
we’re both rest assured
Though we’ve known many
There's no finer man
