A Man Named Steve
Paula Asher Hodges 1970 (Albany Georgia)
The animals are crying for a man Steve;
It's just so hard for all to believe.
That something so precious could be taken away;
He impacted all life on Earth and his short stay.
But I believe his mission will go on;
In his children's hands they must be strong.
I believe in his will to fight;
Cause all God's creatures has a purpose in life.
We must continue what he set out to do;
So he can smile down and won't feel so blue.
Because he is watching from heaven above; Of the job we're doing in the name of love.
As time goes by my heart still breaks;
For a man named Steve we miss you mate!
