A Beautiful Man



He was a beautiful man my friend Andy Balint
Music and Masonry among many talents
In addition to many wonderful things,
he loved to dance, and he loved to sing
He loved his family more than words can show
but when God called his name he had to go
As he ascends to the Promise land
I pray, Dear Lord please hold his hand
I feel blessed to have known someone as great as he
One who leaves behind a beautiful legacy
Goodbye my buddy you were a beloved friend
Please save a dance for me when my story ends!
