Next Time
I'm mad at myself today because I never got to see Gerald sing
Oh, I heard him often and played him often....but, ain't nothing like the real thing
His passion for his music was always evident
His compassion was shown everywhere he went
His death was untimely and a complete shock to us all
Tho' he is no more....from grace he did not fall
I can't find adequate words to describe how his music stirred me
Another beautiful black man is gone...
This one known by the world as simply 'G'
I always said 'next time' I'll get to see that gorgeous 'Teddy Bear'
But for reasons beyond my control I could never quite make it there
Next time, next time... how often do we all say
We fail to realize that all any of us have is really just.. today
Gerald Levert wasn't just a celebrity.. he was a son, a father..... a real hero
His family feels his loss deeply...They...I...WE are saddened that he had to go
The impact he had on so many he probably never knew
Which is why not only his family and friends loved him, but the world loved him, too
Gerald Levert was a rare soul...his music truly sublime
I am mad at myself that I never got to see or meet him....maybe.............. next time.
Always,
Tressia
