In Loving Memory
The words shattered me
on the phone.
Numbness overwhelmed me,
As I refused to believe you were gone.
While in a dream state,
A friendly voice on the other end,
Tried so hard to comfort me.
I expected to see your smile that day,
And feel your warm heart all around me.
Instead I fell to my knees in prayer.
I felt as if you had abandoned me,
And I no longer felt safe without you near.
I crumbled in the darkness, all alone.
I fall to my knees and pray as I try to understand,
Oh God where’s my best friend today?
I want him back I cry so often in the night.
Please return him to me I cry wholeheartedly.
Can’t you see I have nothing without him next to me?
Tears slowly fall day after day,
And night after night from my swollen eyes.
It’s out of my fragile hands now,
Only you Lord know what lies ahead.
You’re always on my mind in everything I do.
At night I awake to the full moon’s reflection in my mirror.
You’re staring back at me as I dream the sweetest dreams,
And hold on tightly to all our sweet memories.
I know you have Peace and Love where you are.
I only pray I will always remain deep in your heart.
I will never give up searching the Heaven’s,
Until we meet once again.
Angels will sing joyously,
And the stars in the sky will shine,
Like millions of candles in the night.
The full moon will glow ever so bright,
As it did when you went away and I will smile once again.
The dreams still come to me late in the night,
When all is calm and I’m sleeping so deep.
Your face I still see so vivid and true,
My brother, my friend, I will never forget you!
