What Do I Have But A
Memory?
A Tribute to Matt Walters
What do I have but a memory?
A picture in my mind that is so simple to see
Of the greatest kidder that ever lived
The gift of laughter to us he did give,
Whether "super" technique or a belly flop king,
Just being around him enjoyment he did bring.
What do I have but a memory?
In the water, his favorite place to be,
His strength and work ethic not easily met,
Swimming behind him left a wave you'd never forget.
He could do butterfly for forever and a day
A National Champion in return was his pay.
What do I have but a memory?
The fact that I felt so very lucky
To be in the water when he was on deck,
My muscles aching, my body a wreck,
And there he would be, whistling, cheering, asking for more,
A great coach and motivator we all did adore.
What do I have but a memory?
Someone similar I wish I could be
To touch each life so genuine, so true,
To know he sincerely cared about you,
With every person, every soul, he seemed to relate,
To stop conversation was something you would hate (even if you were late!)
What do I have but a memory?
Seems so small but is large to me,
Of a man who stood ten miles high
Whose heart was just a bit bigger than the sky,
In a short time he left his mark here on earth,
And each and every one of us can tell you its worth.
