We always had so much to say
The plans me made, the visions we saw
How I thought we had it all
We married young
We struggled some
But we made it through
Not too black and blue
Then the family we began
You looked like a boy but were now a man
We had our precious little girl
She didnt even have a curl
We picked her name to honor others
Not our sisters or our brothers
Not long after that first blessing
With another baby we were messing
Along came the baby with a curl
Another little baby girl
This time named for both of us
To our family she was a plus
More struggles and more growth
All of this for us both
We settled in and raised our girls
One without and one with curls
To see the pictures in my mind
When you held them oh so kind
You were the father of every dream
I really thought we were a winning team
Then the years passed on
Now pregnant with our son
That was hard but you were there
Always so much love and care
As all the sad news and bad news
Gave me the difficult blues
Through all of that you kept the hope
Because of you I could cope
You were my rock, my jewel
You always had the right tool
When I was afraid
My head on your chest I laid
The day came our son did arrive
We were healthy, happy, and alive
We were blessed once more
What now lay in store
Our kids are great, loved by all
Those both in and out of our Hall
We scrimped and saved for a home to buy
Our family was the apple of our eye
I would listen to you play your guitar
In the garage a sound not too far
The smile would grow and I remembered the beach
Where with you playing I would cling like a leach
The songs that you wrote, I thought for me
Float around in my head like a funnel in the sea
Will I ever hear that sound once more
The sound of your guitar, your voice at my door
With one bad turn leading to another
Now I feel not only the loss of my brother
My best friend from youth and my precious lover
Now I have no one in which to go under my covers
I cant even sleep in our bed
I lay on the top instead
Wrapped in your robe
With our life flashing like a strobe
Jehovah is there
I know he does care
But my heart it is broken
Nothing left, not even a token
I can now only pray for all that I feel
What went wrong with our whole family deal
No one can believe it has happened to us
I really do feel like I was hit by a bus
So now we pray as a family, minus one
The one which with we shared so much fun
The one the kids called Dad
That I loved so much from a young lad
Going places will not be the same
Playing without you in the game
Disneyland rides that you took with such thrill
Now with those memories what do we feel
If I could turn back time
I would turn it on a dime
I would give my right arm
To experience your charm
I had hoped against hope
Always trying to cope
Willing to work on what ever it was
To love you forever just because
But now all those hopes and dreams
Have gone up in smoke so it seams
I wished I would have had just one more chance
To see if we could save our romance
Now I can only pray but no more my lover
Now I pray to save my dearest brother
In hopes that he comes back to the God of his youth
The he returns to his large family in the truth
We had such dreams
Or so it sure seamed
Of our family together
Forever and ever..
Had to make this poem for History class. Gave us a month to work on it. Tell me if you like it.
