AS THE SUN CAME UP IN MEMPHIS
As the sun came up in Memphis
A tear rolls down my cheek
I see a bird fly away
To find eternal peace
A mortal uniform left behind
Your presence is now beyond the sky
Memories now flood my mind
I will never understand why
As the sun came up in Memphis
I see a brother fade from this life
The dark clouds had to flee
Now a silver lining shines so bright
As the sun came up in Memphis
I bid farewell to my friend
He stuck closer to me than a brother
His sun will never set again
In memory of my brother and Poet Club co-founder, T.J. Barber.
