His smile
Contagious and serene
Like the mountains he sang of
The forests and the streams
In his heart
A poem and a song
In the hearts of his audience
It’s there that he belongs
He sang of love
He sang of you and me
His sunshine radiates
Upon us endlessly
His greatest wish
To bring people together
With his music and voice
To settle stormy weather
Tragically, his life cut short
But his voice lives on
As it echoes in the Rockies
And the songs he’s sung
