Tribute

A tribute to my brother Alan, 3/10/1966-10/9/1983. Murdered by my 'best friend'. A tragedy

 

Today would be your day

I know, it's been a while

It's been 25 years now

Since I got to see your smile

So much you are a part of me

Even though you are gone

For years I'd toss my life away

Without you, I'd not go on

The 'friend' that stole your life from you

Still it seems so wrong

What reason there could ever be

And no more will I belong

Without you my brother

Without you, my dear friend

Time that heals all wounds

This pain would never mend

One day I will see you

For now, I'll never let you go

For the lessons in my life I've learned

There's some I will not know

Just to keep my faith today

And know that you are near to me

The past, never to be undone

The future still yet to be.
