Young Jack Cole was a talented soul
Creative and insightful, witty and delightful
As far as artistic, humorous, genius goes
Amiable and outgoing was the side he was always showing
A big man with a big heart having big fun
According to both those close or who knew him in passing
On a warm afternoon in August of '58
He decided to bring it to an end
He could no longer bear shouldering the weight
He took a ride in his Chevy and bought a shotgun
No one knows what put him in a suicidal state of mind
Mystery clouds why he did what could never be undone
He left behind a note that apologized and one that was sealed
The apology was to his employer, co-workers and friends
His wife was given the note that has never been revealed
Some things are taken
From everyone for evermore
When life is surrendered and forsaken
