It feels like yesterday all over again
The news of your life after death
Sick to my stomach
Heart ache and pain
Sad that I was not given the opportunity to thank you
For all that you did
I should have said it when I had the chance
Now you’re forever gone in physical form and there’s nothing that can bring you back
Angels were needed in heaven
And you were the one which was called
The humblest servant to our almighty God
I’m not angry
I’m not scared
I’m not worried
Because I know you are now in a much better place
I’m hurting inside of the way that you died
Begging and pleading for your one and only life
As you fell to your knees
I can’t begin to imagine what was racing through your mind at that exact time
I know if I was in your place
I might not handle it the way you did!
Your bravery, your life, you laid it all down when needed
by protecting your wife and child!
I am so proud to say you were the best friend anyone could ever have
And a brother who cared deeply for anyone you felt a spiritual connection with
I am proud to say
That we have met, paved a path of friendship and built a bond as thick as blood/ a brother and sister created through the heavens cloud
I wish you were here
To keep me sane
Many to share my poetry with
But none who understands of reading between the lines
You got it every time
My art you see was the most unique
The words I remember when you see me doodle on cold rainy days when the store was quite and no one around
You always told me
I knew how to turn a frown upside down
And put a smile on the faces of many
With the simple words of “have a great day honey”
You told me things to lift my spirit
Gave me reasons to which I should believe it
You saw the beauty inside of me which you pointed out each day
I miss that the most
You always gave me respect and never stayed away
Nor ever did neglect us
My life is in a turmoil and I know not of which direction to turn to
But I pray each waking day
That you are with God guiding us all through
Times have changed and people did too
But the memories we have of you
Lives on inside
We carry your name in our hearts with love and pride
We cherish the few moments that your time you took
We are grateful for every word you ever spoke
We pray that one day we will all be together
A family so strong
A bond that will never break
A seal of hope and faith
A signature of Loyalty
We are indeed a huge family
I miss you brother 🙏🏽❤️
