His life was taken before his time
and he left so many loose ends behind:
He left a mother with one less person to love.
He left two brothers, always missing a part of themselves.
He left a grandmother with her tears and despair.
He left and took a part of us with him.
But most important above all he left a boy without his only father.
This boy was robbed of the unconditional love only a father gives
he is left with no one to love him the way only a father could,
or to guide him as only a father could.
This boy was cruelly robbed of the things only a father can be,
he has no memories to cherish, no laughs to look fondly upon
this boy will be changed forever,
as will the lives of all those those he was a part of.
By the loss of one man, irreperaple damage was done.
Though he was taken from us,
the lives he touched will forever bear his mark.
His unique light will continue to shine,
bringing something bright into the lives of those he loved
and who loved him in return.
