"I Couldn't Save You"
I'm so sorry I couldn't save you,
Though I tried with all my might.
The darkness came so swiftly,
And I couldn't find the light.
I would have traded all my tomorrows,
To rewrite that fateful day.
But time is a cruel master,
That steals what it won´t replay.
You slipped through my fingers,
Like sand in the crashing tide.
And now I'm left with the silence,
And the ache I cannot hide.
If love alone could save you,
You´d still be here, I know.
But now I carry your memory,
Everywhere I go.
Love you brother, you are my best friend ,I'll forever cherish the last 4 months we got to hang out together!

I've had the pleasure
of caring for Cole at
least eight times,
and each time was a
joy. He was not only
fun to look after but
also a true
gentleman-a gentle
giant with a heart to
match. He quickly
became one of my
favorites.
