"Something Like Say!"
Uncle Bubba,
Something like say
What can we say,
Your name was called
You got your wings
Took flight and was on your way
Something like say
The memories, scripture recitals,
Not holding back your personal views
And Oh, the love you had
For your nieces and nephews
Something like say
Heaven now has an angel
Far like no other
We will never forget
Christopher Columbus Green
Our great Uncle Bubba!
Love Your Nieces & Nephews
