A poem I wrote for The Late Great Eddie Guerrero shortly after he passed.. He Truly Was The Best He was a star, he was a saint. When I saw him for the first time I thought i'd faint. He was so vibrant and extraordinary. He gave us his all and he made us truly happy. When he drove down to the ring we all danced and sang along to his song. He lied, he cheated and he stole my heart and soul. The whole world knew him as Eddie Guerrero. One of the best wrestlers, if not the best wrestler to step foot in a wrestling ring. But to me he was so much more. He was a son, he was a brother, he was a father, he was an uncle and he was a husband. An amazing one at that. He was the person that inspired me to give life my all. He taught me there is nothing to fear but fear itself. He wasnt only a father to the 2 gurls he has with Vicky. Eventhough he never knew it. He was like a father to me. At night I always laid awake wishing I had a dad like him. Eddie had his demons, but who doesnt? He lost everything. His family, his job, his dignity, his self respect. Sadly he even lost the respect of some of his fans. But he never lost mine. He worked 100x harder to get everything he lost back. And not only did he get it all back, but he also got what he wanted since he was a child. The WWE Championship. The day he won the belt I couldnt have been more proud of him. His family had to have been 10x happier then I was. Eddie looked life in the eye and over came every obstacle life threw at him. Eddie, the day you left us was a tragedy. I woke up that morning and went to wwe.com like I always do. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the news. The headline said you had passed away in your hotel room the night before. I couldnt move, I couldnt speak. I couldnt even think straight. Before I knew it my eyes were crying a river. I cried for hours that day. I listened to your song over and over again. I watched your matches. Your charisma in the ring grasped me and never let me go. I watched you lie, cheat and steal in the match like you always did. And I couldnt believe I would never see you do it ever again. The next day you were honored on Monday Night Raw. Everyone spoke of you in the highest manner.. and they all wrestled at their best. I hope you saw that, you would have been so proud. I was wishing that sometime during the show your music would hit and you would come out and say "I lied!" in that amazing way you spoke. We would all laugh and cry and be glad you werent gone. But that didnt happen and you are gone. Now at night instead of wishing you were my dad. I lay here and cry wishing you were still here. Eddie I love you so much and miss you more then words can express. My words can never do my feelings justice. For you are more amazing then life itself. So for one last time I say to you Eddie Guerrero.. "Viva La Raza". And i'll wait until the day I get to see you again and tell you to your face, you truly were the best. Dedicated to the Late Great Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005. RIP Eddie G! ~Jay~ Another Poem Written by me and my bestfriend In Memory of Eddie Guerrero Don't grieve for me, for now i'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Task's left undone, must stay that way. I found that peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes these thing's too I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My lifes been full. I savored much. Good friend's, good time's, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, he set me free.
