Gone Hunting
Remember the smiles and not the tears
For all the hunts throughout the years
Don’t dwell on things left unsaid
Cherish the memories we had instead
Like the crisp mornings and dusky nights
A trophy buck within our sights
Deer camp with friends and family
These moments meant so much to me
When peace from nature all around
Was shattered by a sudden sound
I always hoped your aim was true
And smiled with pride for all of you
So don’t cry for me because life is done
Stalking the fields has just begun
Come fall may smiles adorn your face
Knowing I’ve gone hunting…
in a better place
