Christopher By John
Rueben
You were more than a brother, you were my best friend I
love you more than the world and until forever's end
Chris you were
my baby boy You are my heart and soul, my pride and joy
Chris I
want you to know I'm proud of you You were part me, my better half I'd
give my life to have you Back with your friends and family but you have
passed
I can't accept that you are dead For I believe you are
resting in heaven's bed
You will be in my heart, my mind and soul I
guess I will see you at the crossroads
Chris I hope you know that I
tried I was there at your birth and the day you died
This will
haunt me until the end of time I want you to know you will be forever
mine
Chris you can't be deceased In my eyes you are resting in
peace
I will never forget that horrible day
I love you Chris, so in heaven go play
