This is for my brother who would have been 26 today.
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within or hearts
Is where you'll stay.
I know you are watching over us, and I know Toby-Jack would have loved an uncle like you. I hope he will make you as proud as he makes me. Thankyou for looking after us so well. I am sure Toby-Jack was sent to us as a special gift from you. You are so special, that's the only reason I can think of why you would have to be taken from us so early. I can't wait to tell Toby-Jack all about you and I'm sure he will love you as much as we do even though he will never get the chance to meet you.
Love forever and always,
Your little sister and baby newphew xxx
