Conversations from the Heart
written by Clifton DeVal Boyd
(dedicated to Lionel Kenneth Boyd [Lump])
Now that U r gone
n I'm left all alone
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid
because of all that U taught me
in thick n thin
from the beginning to the end
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U!
The later years were strained
but the respect n love for each other
always remained the same,
even though
we were in our neutral corners.
I know it wasn't easy for U
to see me actually do
what U wanted me to.
But life has a lot of strange
twisted turns n unexpected
bumps n life-shattering potholes
that never seem to stop coming
in some form or fashion.
But, U taught me against those odds
we must still overcome n prevail
n against injustice we must forever rail
n for whatever reason
those defying winds left your sails
because in your mind
the struggle shouldn't be so hard.
I don't fault U for it
since survival is for the fittest
people are going to do whatever it takes
to make their life work
even if it hurt others
like U did me.
U were my hero
n it took me by surprise
but the wisdom U instilled in me
all those ingrained lessons about life itself
made me wise n consciously aware of the truth
if for nothing else.
I LOVE U LUMP
like u unquestionably did me
we have a bond with each other 'til eternity.
I hate to see U go
but I don't question The Father's Will
just sending U off
with Serene Blessings
as the sun sets behind the hill.
Love U Brother!!
Journey Well.

Eileen, Our condolences go out to you and the girls. When we were neighbors we were always impressed by how much decency and love you showed towards each other. Lionel seemed A strong but gentle man, full of a quiet humor. The love he had for and the pride he took in his family was evident. The world has been a better place for has having passed through. May you each find peace in your hearts in the memory of his love. Donna, Donny, and Glen.
