Little Brother

by Meochi Scott

You made a bad decision, You left me alone livin', The pain I feel is real, not fiction, You were my little brother My best friend, that was a given The pain I felt David, when I heard the news, I fell to the ground screaming I was so lost and confused, I was looking for someone to accuse.

But in my heart I knew it was you Your memories are flooding my brain Sometimes it drives me insane, I cry at the rain, because, my heart is melting with pain It hurt so much Dave, to know I will never see you again.

I will make you proud little brother I will have your better half close to me Making sure he is in good hands I know you will be watching down over us Until we meet again little brother Get your rest. I love you Your Big Sister

We Are Family…

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see

If the sun should rise and find Eyes filled with tears for me I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did on my departing day While thinking of the many things

We didn't get to say I know how much you love me As much as I love you And each time you think of me I know you will miss me too When tomorrow starts without me Don't think we’re far apart For every time you think of me I'm right there in your heart

November 19, 1982 - August 5, 2015

Miss you Dad… We miss you more than ever…

Your guidance and your love.

But, we know you’re still watching Silently from above.

The love you gave still warms us The way it always will.

But leaving left an empty space That time can never fill.

From heaven you’re still giving us The love you always had.

I know you will hear us talk to you.

We will always love you Dad…

You will always be the most wonderful Gifts ever given to me
