This is Irv, a dad, father in law, Zadie, an uncle, a confidant, a buddie, a genuine loving & kind soul:

Never Gone

He never leaves

His guidance

His humor

His love

His promise

His commitment

He’s always here

All the flaws

All the beauty

All the clumsy wit

All the crazy candor

All the care

He’s never gone

He flows throughout

He’s your kids

He’s your siblings

He’s your cousins

He’s your friends

He is you.
