- I’m sorry I never knew him
- I never knew his plight,
- If I had I’d stand beside him
- and help him in his fight.
- It’s sad the ignorant still loathe him
- or what he stood up for,
- But look how many loved him
- and will forever more.
- He’ll live through Codey’s World
- and in each reader’s heart.
- It’ll take more than his leaving
- to keep our worlds apart.
- I’ll not waste time here weeping
- though my eyes still choke for words.
- It’s his heart that we’re now keeping
- and his song we’ll sing in chords.
- So rally round his keeping
- and whisper words of love
- hold out a hand to the seeking
- and to the angry a peaceful dove.
