Tony Henry


Words cannot describe
Just what a joy it
Is to glance upon his
Face, anytime

I’ve stood next to him
Heard him speak
And sing melodies
That make me want

Put my arms around him
That’s how close I’ve been
He hugged me too
Held me closer affectionately

Looked into his eyes
Saw glimpses of a future
Kissed him on his cheek
And had to leave

Always there’s a smile on his face
A song waiting to be birthed
Deep within his heart
To put on another disc

I have pictures of him
All over me
Yet his fingertips
Only touch strings

Photogenic
He is and every photo
Looks like he’s still standing
Next to me

Framed
For what he does
Sitting on my desk
Just because

I’ve stood next to him
Heard him speak
And sing melodies
That make me want.
