For Jimmy: Rest Easy

Rest easy little monster
For you have a whole world to terrorize.
Rest easy ya little runt
For you have many things to experience.
Rest easy little brother
For we will always protect you.
Rest easy dear son
Because you were our only.
Rest easy dear friend
Because we've known you since elementary.
Rest easy dear lover
Because you were my significant other.
Rest easy.
Goose chaser
Dream catcher
A rock star who was once a homeless beggar.
Collected idol
Blue eyed freak
A party-goer with a wild streak.
A musical genius
The silly drunk fool
Even when you had a drug addled brain you'd never lose your cool.
Adored by many
Disliked by some
An inspire to many who sat at his drums.
Rest easy young musician
Who can be found just beyond the gates of heaven.
