An innocent person,

Part of my family,

Killed in an accident,

Caused by the unknown.

An innocent person,

My own cousin,

My flesh,

My people.

Brian,

A name I no longer hear,

A person I no longer see,

A cousin I no longer know.

An innocent person,

Killed by an unknown cause,

In our hearts,

But not in our eyes.

I look for him

Everyday,

Hoping, wondering, waiting,

If he appears.

I try to forget

The horrible time,

But not the person

We all miss.

I think

And pray about him.

I hope

He's happy.

I cry for him,

And hope he can hear me,

Hope he hears my prayers,

And hope, he no longer suffers.

In loving memory of Brian Matier.
