A Tribute to Eric

The sun is at its’ brightest, and bluest is the sky
And there is Eric Medlen, that famed twinkle in his eye
Roaming around in his new Heaven, meeting everybody new
Shaking hands and smiling, saying “I am so glad to meet you,”

He’s roped and raced his way through life, a mark he’s left behind
And brought a ray of sunshine in every way he could
He learned to speak some Japanese so to them he’d relate
And taught his roping skills to all and told them they were great

An interview with Eric was a fun and pleasant time
Because he made reporters feel so happy and sublime
And now his soul’s in Heaven, Darrel Russell and some more
And when they saw him coming, they swung open Heaven’s door

And took him in to welcome him, in a land where there’s no pain
But only love and happiness, and sunshine, but no rain
He’s in a special place right now, a full smile on his face
‘Cause he still races every day, and he wins every race!

So when you think of Eric, just look straight up above
Because he’s smiling down on us, and sending us his love!
