My tribute to Jeff Stewart

My dear friend Jeff Stewart passed away from a drug overdose recently.

Jeff would come into my office at FRIENDS Peterborough and play my

keyboard.  I miss his smiling face.  Rest in peace, my friend!

Hey Jeff I never thought I’d have to say goodbye this way,

Recalling all those special times when you’d drop in to pray;

It’s so sad to think you left us all so suddenly that day

But today I’ll tell you this, “I love you, man!”

So I guess I’ll never see you walking down George Street again,

With that toothless grin and impish wave, I’ll sure miss you, Jeff, my friend;

My keyboard will sit silent ‘til that day…I know not when…

When we play together in God’s heav’nly band.

I trust you’ve finally found the peace you sought for oh so long,

Trying to block out harmful thoughts each time you played a soulful song;

As we say our last goodbyes today it all seems oh so wrong,

But now God holds you close my dear lost friend.

So I guess I’ll never see you walking down George Street again,

With that toothless grin and impish wave, I’ll sure miss you, Jeff, my friend;

My keyboard will sit silent ‘til that day…I know not when…

When we play together in God’s heav’nly band.
