"Fantastic"

Thumbs UP!

Thumbs up means you’re positive, okay, ready,
You are rock solid, in agreement, incredibly steady,
Thumbs up means you give your wholehearted support,
It is an encouragement to someone playing a sport,
It is the gesture most often seen in the photos of Jerry,
When he was fighting cancer and it was scary,
A scary and uncertain time, but nonetheless,
He put his thumb upward; He knew God would bless,
God did bless him with an incredible life,
But He never promised there would not be strife,
Jerry’s thumbs up were meant to assure us and say:
“I’m having a really fantastic day!”
Incredible to think that someone in his situation,
Was brave enough to thumbs up without hesitation,
His attitude was always positive, and he knew,
His days on earth would only be few,
Thumbs up to Jerry for all his courage,
He was giving up hope and he did not discourage,
When I see a thumbs up emoji, I think of him over there,
On the couch with his thumb held up in the air!
