For Eddie Ivie
Ar dheis de go raibh an anam
We are but Stardust after all
What can we do when tears won’t come?
To help us grieve our fallen one
The river that should cease to run,
Like time itself halts for no one
For life is only but a breath
A ripple in the Universe
And in sorrow we recall
we are but Stardust after all
A noble soul he walked the earth
In kindness, innocence and mirth
A friend a lover and a son
He left his mark on everyone
We’d have him live a hundred years
To share our laughter and our tears
He was to heed a higher call
He was but Stardust after all
Now River Street, in cobblestone
Was sanctified upon the morn
The stars and stripes he loved with care
In honor did enfold him there
Sargent Jasper take his hand
Across the threshold bid him stand
With Georgia's sons so proud and tall
Among the stars for evermore
