Keary Washington was his golden name
Shot through the heart when his death came.
He was a beautiful man, a shining star by far
I surnamed him "Special K", for he was that and more.
Kind to those who loved him, but confused within hiself
No such love for any man had I ever felt.
After one special night, his ex did fight, from that moment on she plotted to take his life.
One Spring evening as I watched the t.v. screen
A reporter uttered, "Keary Washington: dead at the age of nineteen."
I fell to me knees and wept in my soul
For this young man would never know whit it is to grow old.
Keary even though most have forgotten you and went on with their lives.
What we shared together I'll be sure to keep alive.
So rest well my sweet Keary
I'll see you in the last day
Your soul resurrected to everlasting life I pray
Keary Washington was his golden name
Shot through the heart when his death came.
