In Loving Memory of Wayne Hughes


Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Things have been a little out of balance for me and my family since my Nephew Wayne was killed. Bellow is a poem that my Nephew David wrote in memory of Wayne. He shared this at Wayne's memorial and I thought that I would post it here for everyone to enjoy.

<Dear Heavenly Father,

Today were here to celebrate the life of our beloved brother,
You made only one, he’s not like another

A smile from cheek to cheek, with a Mohawk to go
God were going to miss him, take care of our bro

Please let him know that we’ll miss him so dear
But were doing alright, we’ll be OK. Down here

Show him around in your heavenly glory,
I’m sure he’ll tell you 5 or 6 stories

I'm sure He’ll love to see his dad,
And walk and talk where nothing is bad

And get a chance to be like father and son
Where every moment he fills like he’s won

A perfect place where there,s no more pain
Where there's nothing to lose and everything to gain

I’m a little jealous God that he gets to see you first
But I'm glad he lives in a world with no anger or hurt

Lord can I ask you just a little favor
Give him a mansion with Ferrari of his flavor

He lived in a small place his entire life
Give his something big, to imaginable for sight

But don’t let him get too spoiled peeling out on your streets of gold
If he get to careless give him a beat up olds

No I'm just kidding God, give him the best
And let him know we’ll see him someday, as we lay him down to rest

Thank you God for hearing our prayer
Take care of our bro up there

Wayne we all love you and miss you lots
You ll never be forgotten
Your legacy runs through your daughter
Give your dad Walter a great big hug for us
Till we see you heaven

Amen
