Going Home

Junior's been with us so long,
We thought he was our own.
And now, our hearts are broken,
'cause Junior's going home.
-
He grew up in Cincinnati,
watching his father play baseball.
He followed in his footsteps
as he grew very straight and tall.
-
They played together in Seattle,
then Senior went back home.
Junior became the heart of the team,
as they played in Seattle's "Dome".
-
Because of him, we still have baseball,
and a new park in which to play.
Safeco field, the gem of Seattle,
spread out in grand array.
-
Junior, it's so hard to lose you.
We'll miss your graceful swing,
and watching you in Center field,
and all the joy you bring.
-
We are very happy for you,
that you're home now with your Dad.
We were fortunate to see you grow,
into a man now, from a lad.
-
We hope you won't forget us,
now that you have journeyed home.
Please remember fondly, the time
you spent in Seattle, at the "Dome".
