To my brother Dave,
We knew you had to go, we said a last goodbye
I made myself a promise that I wouldn't cry.
But Death is just so final, an ending so complete,
When I heard you had passed away, the pain went so deep.
I couldn't keep my promise, I couldn't help but cry.
I know how hard you fought to stay, I know how hard you tried.
One day it will be better, the pain will fade away.
But not the love I feel for you, in my heart is where you'll stay.
So Rest in Peace dear brother, we'll all be okay
We'll have your memories with us as we say good bye today.
Love always, Jan
