The Flowers may bloom on a sunny day,
Butterflies may pass as the wind blows them away,
Trees may move swifly as moss hang from above,
A bird with feathers is flying showing his sign of love,
Although he has come and left,
The clouds begin to move,
God has gained another angel, swift, nice, and smooth,
Their will be another day Devon is called out to play,
Devon has made his peace with God now what are we gonna do today,
Although rain may fall and sunlight may shine,
We loved him dearly but God loved him more now its time for us to be defined.

Dedicted to Devon Rest in Peace Cuz!
