This is a song my son wrote for Gary. (John is the name Gary chose to use, it was his middle name)
'John'
You wandered in and out of our live's
Dont think you ever realised,
How much your leaving made us cry,
And our lives changed without you.
You wandered in and out of home,
And you explored the world alone,
You travelled with your placid tone,
And our lives changed without you.
You lived your life across the land,
Though we could never understand,
How you could disregard the plans,
And lived the way you chose to.
You had yourself, your company,
You were content, happy to be,
All by yourself and you were pleased
to live the way you chose to.
You wandered in and out of our live's,
Don't think you ever realised,
How much your leaving made us cry,
And our lives changed without you.
