**In Memory of Billy BJ Jackson”
In a world of engines roaring, where the open road gleams,
There lived a soul named Billy, with laughter in his dreams.
His heart, like his green truck, was vibrant and true,
A symbol of freedom, a bond that only he knew.
With every mile he traveled, beneath the vast sky,
His spirit soared like eagles, as the days would glide by.
The green truck held stories, of adventures untold,
A companion through seasons, steadfast and bold.
And oh, those beloved shoes, worn with pride on his feet,
Each step a reminder of the journeys he'd greet.
Through mud and through gravel, they carried him far,
A testament to passion, like a bright shining star.
Now the roads may feel empty, and the engine stands still,
But the memories of Billy, forever they will thrill.
In the hearts of his loved ones, his laughter will reign,
A legacy of joy, like sunshine after rain.
So here’s to you, Billy, in the skies up above,
In your green truck you wander, wrapped in endless love.
Your spirit will guide us, in each turn that we take,
For in our hearts, dear BJ, you’ll never truly break.
