Did you see the lights coming

Were those scooters humming

I imagine you under the moonlight

Laughing and joking with your bride

What’d y’all do that day

Did you have a clue when you made your way

Had there been a lot of planning up to that point

At 72, how were your joints

Was there an unforeseen bump  

Or something that made you swerve

Did you jump

I doubt you lost your nerve

Two weeks ago

The local headlines delivered a tragic blow

A call to your family  

I still see you standing

In the bleachers like you did some 20-years ago

Spelling it out to a bunch of 6^th graders to be aggressive  

Your obituary was quite impressive

Your faith – a cornerstone

Many were glad you didn’t go alone

No, I think you were living life aggressively

What did you see around the bend

A good time, a ship, a friend?

I won’t know

But I still hear you chanting, “BE A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E”

You instilled a spark

And though the world may now seem a little dark

I’m convinced that where you are there is a glow

You and your bride in eternal light

A reward for a life lived in aggressive love

A life lived right
