Here's to a guy who was always full of ideas
In a good way, of course
A face full of humor, optimism and a wicked smile
Able to fulfill his day to day duties and still have time to dream
Of a life beyond punching a time clock
And making sure his 401K is filled to the brim
Practical idea but not what makes life all the more interesting
Wanted to be the best all around person to everyone
On his terms and no one else's
Thought integrity was better than brownnosing to the boss
Believed in being an active participant instead of a bystander
It was better to have thoughts and suggestions
Instead of just floating through life going by the status quo
He had a notebook full of dreams, schemes and ideas
Just not enough hours in the day to make them a reality
Well, there was time but sleep was more important
Staying awake while on the job was a much better idea
Than being another casualty of being a midnight road warrior
Stumbling blocks and curveballs par for the course
In the daily life of this active imaginative inventor
Never lets a setback get him down for long
Always plotted the next move or course of action
Had his weekends usually relatively mapped out
As a seesaw balancing act between family, relationships and fun
Does it always go according to plan?
Not as much as he would like; but he still strived to be there for everyone
Decided after a long and tedious night on the job
To pull out that tape recorder he had close by and made a few ideas
Be put on the record for posterity and just in case he forgot them later
Hard to say what those mental notes will become
But it was more fun in the doing the journey than
Wondering what the end results were going to be
Made it an adventure without intending to be one
In the meantime, focused on the time clock once again
Those bills won't pay themselves.
Not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you want to do.
