I try to resist the thoughts in my head
But until I write I cant go to bed
The man so many adored and revered
Passed last night among those he held dear
George N. Parks a legend for sure
He possessed qualities that were amazingly pure
The confidence he had, the swag he showed
The brilliance of mind and the purity of soul
Thinking back to the years gone by
His lessons followed and ethics applied
Friends made forever with his help
Dreams pursued with his words under my belt
30 plus years of leading the band
Legions of members making it grand
Without the man that they love so much
They could not have risen without his touch
Power and Class has ties that cannot be severed
Kindness and Pride instilled by him forever
His legacy marches proud with heads held high
Saluting with honor and tears in our eyes
Stories will be told and hugs will be spread
This deity has passed but he is not dead
Stand tall and keep your EYES! WITH PRIDE!
He will always be by your side.
I humbly bow down with sadness plenty
Having not seen him in over 20
But I smlie remembering the quips he told
The lives he molded and turned to gold
Good night Mr. Parks you are a giant
A giant among men amidst us peasants
Your greatness exudes from the lessons you've taught
Rest in Peace George, you will not be forgot.
