It’s me This was a man who didn’t say much But who had a lot he could say, This was a man who dealt with life’s changes yet a man who was stuck in his way, This was a man not bookish nor learned but a man who could work with his hands, A man who needed no instructions but instinctively understands, This was a man who tried to deal with you fairly who strove to be honest and true, This was a man who enjoyed a good laugh And liked to get you laughing too, This is a man pleased to see you today though I may not be around for a while, This is a man who doesn’t like sadness and who would much rather see you smile, This was a man who loved the outdoors and the sound of the surf on the shore, This was a man who had all your love and a man who loved you even more, This was a man who touched all your lives To a greater or lesser degree, I am that man and my name is John Don’t cry now - it’s alright - It’s Me!!!
