Did you ever know that you’re my hero
Your everything I wish I could be
Did you ever know that you’re my hero
You are the wind beneath my wings

Every time I close my eyes I see you
Smiling at me
Cheesing
Calling me baby
And telling me that in the times when
I get weak you gone hold me down
But whose gone hold me now
Whose gone get mad right along with me
Whose gone help me raise my children
Whose gone be there to tell that man
I’ll cut you if you ever think about hurting her

You were my heart
The iron that sharpened me
That kept me believing that things
Wouldn’t be the way they are for long
I guess I’ll never get my license now
I guess I’ll never hear you say the things that always made me smile
And even though its only been a short while
My life as I know it has been completely turned upside down

And I told you the last time that I talked to you
That the next time I picked up my pen I would really put it down
Stand proud in any place and say its for the rest of my life that I’ll love him
He was more than just my friend
He was my love
And with all the things we went through
I would have never imagined that NOW
I would look down on you and have to say goodbye

I’m trying not to cry
Trying to be strong
But everything in me
Wishes that I could be where you are now
Robert I love you
And Celebrate you for just being who you are
The life of any party
The one that could shake a tail feather better than any other
The one that if I wanted to be mad at you I couldn’t
Cause it just wouldn’t go down like that

I can’t forget
Who you were
What you are
Even if I wanted too
And a distant memory you will never be
See you complete every thing that was She
T
Tiara
The future Mrs. Bates the third
Even the future Mrs. Next
As far as I’m concerned you were the best of them all
None compared to you
I’ll miss you far more than any of these words
Could express
You always had a way of making me feel good
About myself
And although a piece of me left with you
February 10th
You will always be my friend
The one that I hold dear to my heart
Give grandmother
And grandma Emma a kiss
Tell em’ that I miss them
This is a tribute that I thought you would
Always get the chance to hear
But I’ll keep the thoughts of yester year
Dear hold you close and near
You made the six of the twenty two years that I lived sweet

I love you RLB three
My best friend is who you’ll always be
Until the end of my time
And beyond that
I call this relationship Infinity

**I dont need to tell anyone what this is but because I feel compelled to I will...My best friend my first love the only man that could ever really tell me that he knew me and I not argue with that died this morning to a senseless act of violence...If you are close to a border line of Orlando Florida as of right now this case hasnt been solved...And I know that none of you are God but as if you could and if you know anything please with tears in my eyes I am begging you to swallow that fear if you have any and speak up...My family needs justice...Robert Lee Bates the Third will rest in peace so help me...This aint the time to be quite..**
