IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR

Its been almost a year
since he's been gone

A year without
seeing his smile
hearing his laugh
seeing his face
hearing his voice
or just plain seeing him.

You go downtown expecting
to see him than it hits you like a load
He's dead- Gone- Gone from this world
Gone from this life
Gone from his family and
Gone from his friends

The people who knew
him ask why did he have to die?
Why him and not I?
Why was he there in the car?

Am I to blame for why he's gone?
Sometimes I think I am, other times
I know that I am not to blame for his death..

I wonder where he is
If he's in Heaven or Hell
Will I get to see him again
or will I never see him?

Some people know God
others know Satan as their God..

I hope I will see him again
I miss you dear brother..
Rest in peace
and please be safe
and know that you are
in our hearts, on our minds
and in our thoughts..

Your body maybe gone
but the things you did,
you said are still on our minds..

He did some bad along with the good
but does that make him a bad person?

He had a lot of friends who cared about him.. Know that we love & always will remember you Jeremy..

You are always in our thoughts,
and hearts..

Rest with the love and peace
that you couldn't find in this world..

Goodbye sweet brother..
