The silent pain and love of a brother.
7 years on I call bullshit to whomever did say
That time heals all wounds day after day.
I know for a fact that this isn’t true.
For the pain is still there at having lost you.
Instead of focusing on what we did loose
Im just remembering the incredible times I had with you.
Trying not to delve into the gap that you left in our hearts
But more so all the times that you did make us laugh.
The time you may or may not have run into the shed.
Will be a treasured memory I sure will not forget.
Your passion for sheep I still find profound
However it did make the old man so very proud
The glue you possessed so inadvertently
Kept our family together although you did not see
Such an integral part of keeping our unit as one.
Was not truly appreciated until you were gone.
One of my life’s greatest sadness of which nothing I can do
Is knowing our beautiful daughter will never meet you.
All I can hope is that that the qualities you possessed.
Will somehow be passed onto her in her quest
To become a young woman that would make you proud.
And as long your in our thoughts I have no doubt.
That you and your legacy will surely be passed on
So that Hallie may know of you although you are gone
Physically gone may that you be
Memories and thoughts shall forever remain within me.
Not just me but many more just the same
Will never forget your life or your name.
I try to focus on your incredible short years
But fuck my brown dog I always end up In tears.
Get that up your red guts and how extraordinary
I’m sure you remember as dads main vocabulary
Memory’s and photos we will proudly display
Opposed to sheep yard language we all heard in the day
Minus the sheep but plus memory’s of you.
Will keep our Hallie with a firm and steady view.
Of a better role model I know we won’t find
As you were undoubtedly the best of all kinds
One thing I promise and this I can say.
Is I will always love and miss you every day in every way.
