**Dedicated to: Kevin Laron Parham; 05/23/80 – 10/31/05**
Kevin I remember we meet that summer day in the park
You were pushing Avaya on the swing, the day our friendship did start
You were charming, smooth and I couldn't help but to like you
You were uplifting and had an eminent spark about you
Although the time we shared together was brief
When you left this world my heart was filled with grief
A valuable life lost by the stupidity of another
I know my pain is shared by so many others
You were one of the sweetest people I knew
You were a great friend and a dedicated father to name a few
You filled so many lives with life, love and laughter
Even though you're gone you've stayed within our hearts long after
The times we shared I'll keep forever in my memory
The friendship we had was something of beauty
You were wrongfully taken but I hope you're at peace
You'll never be forgotten, to say the least
