What Makes Me Blue? Poem by DAVID werts

for my brother/friend derl:

what makes me blue?

what really makes it that makes me blue
is it the thought that i lost you

we stayed up all night playing a game
i lost you now dam what a shame

i still remember the first time we met
remember you liked my Corvette

thinking of all the times we had
some of it good, some of it bad

remember all the cheese we ate
i think now the memories I appreciate

watching our kids grow up so fast
ya thos years, we had a blast

im blue today because your not here
heres to you derl as i toasted a beer.....
