Today we say goodbye,
to someone we all love,
and as we mourn our loss,
He watches from above.
He painted buildings ,
for most of his life,
he did it to support,
himself, his children
and his wife.
He loved those who knew him,
though he rarely said it,
it was clear, it was in his eye's,
and his actions, the words you didn't
have to hear.
Take a look around you,
and see what he has done,
he touched the lives of all who knew him,
and now his journey has just begun.
Look at the sunset,
when you go to bed tonight,
and in the morning,
watch the sunrise,
Sonny Ayers painted that for you,
with a twinkle in his eye's.
