Ode To Son In Law
by
This last week was a journey to deaths door
I walked to the theshold to see Ned no more
Cancer won the three year battle in the end
And on to heaven Ned we did send
The family and friends were extremely brave
To this disease we will not be slaves
Ned wanted to be at home when the end came
To not honor this request would be so lame
Final blessings were conducted to help say goodbye
After four intense days of struggle Ned gave a sigh
He breathed his last on Friday morn
Just as Gabriel blew his golden horn
Ned leaves behind a wife a girl and a boy
Two young teenagers now without any joy
Their father was a generous and wonderful man
Now we the family will carry out his plan
I have never had a better friend than Ned
After all is written and finally said
He now experiences eternal joy and bliss
My beloved son in law you will be missed
I walked to the theshold to see Ned no more
Cancer won the three year battle in the end
And on to heaven Ned we did send
The family and friends were extremely brave
To this disease we will not be slaves
Ned wanted to be at home when the end came
To not honor this request would be so lame
Final blessings were conducted to help say goodbye
After four intense days of struggle Ned gave a sigh
He breathed his last on Friday morn
Just as Gabriel blew his golden horn
Ned leaves behind a wife a girl and a boy
Two young teenagers now without any joy
Their father was a generous and wonderful man
Now we the family will carry out his plan
I have never had a better friend than Ned
After all is written and finally said
He now experiences eternal joy and bliss
My beloved son in law you will be missed

The rhyme was a little cumbersome, but the point was very clear
