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
