Goodbye, Josh

A sad news in the morning
That our Barney our purple dinosaur
Was already gone the Saturday before
From a bleed in the brain
Was hard news to hear
Despite his hallmark bubbly strain
Will remember his smiles
Will remember his laughters and fun
Will remember for who he is
One who never once wears a frown
The ever jovial Josh
Leaving us at forty-two
Seeing his photo was not easy
On a paper brings a tear
Hope he glides into the golden glow
To the land of paved jewels
To a clean land
Hope he will be part of the entourage
But now
Rest your weariness
Release yourself
