I had to leave you laughing, because that is what I do

I know I left some tears behind, I know I left pain too

But I was needed else where, and I had to get there fast,

I'm sorry for the current pain, but I promise it won't last.

Remember me by my smile, by jokes and my charm,

I'm in the heavens now, where I can be done no harm.

I hope I left you smiling, please remember me by my glow

Know that it's love I felt for you all even if I didn't always let it show.

My biggest joy in life was joking and the laughter we all have had,

From family gatherings to being honored by being a dad.

I was a son, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather, and a partner.

I had the best of times, and would trade not one for any other.

I hope I left you laughing, but know that in my heart,

Joy is all I want for you all, even as we part.
