Sighing deeply, I shake my head
Contemplating, what I just read
The moment that will visit
Each of us one day
Decided on the sixth
That Dick Locher couldn’t stay
The legacy left behind
Will ensure for years to come
That generation after generation
Will admire all that you have done
Yes I’m sure there’ll be a few
Who continue to get glee
When they tarnish all you’ve done
Their hateful words for all to see
All I know is for myself
You would always make my day
Even when it seemed our hero
Would never fight but run away
My hope is in that moment
When your final breath was done
You began a brand new story
Filled with thrills, joy and fun
The worries of this life
All the pain and all the muck
I’m sure they passed away
As you embraced your yellow duck
So thank you once again
For the smiles and the joy
Every time I read Dick Tracy
When I was a little boy.
