Grandfather of Boxing

I wrote this poem for my coach that died on March 2, 2006. This one's from the team...We love and miss you so much Kenny!!

We miss you so much, every day of our lives,
Its so hard to go on, without you by our sides.

Now we cling to each other, and the memories we share,
And the fact that we know, your looking down from up there.

We know your still watching, and we try to make you proud,
The legacy you left, we try to live it out loud.

You left us so quick, with no time to prepare,
But we know theres no pain, or suffering up there.

We try to be strong, cause we know thats what youd say,
But we think about you every, single minute of the day.

We love you so much, and we want you to know,
That youll never be forgotten, that we will never let go.

Tucked deep in our hearts, youll always be there to stay,
We will forever remember, you on this day.

Thank you for always, being willing to give,
Grandfather of Boxing, long will you live.

In Loving Memory of
Kenneth G. Wingo
1931-2006
