Will there ever come a time that a thought of you will cross my mind and sadness will not over take my heart?
Will a day ever come that the news doesn't sting this saddened heart of mine?
Will a moment ever pass while I am listening to the radio or t.v and hear something that reminds me of you and silent tears won't fall?
I can't believe that day shall ever come at all?
its been 5 years since you were taken away, Iraq, this war your last days..................
I close my eyes and see your beautiful smile, the twinkle in your eyes, you were such a good man, such a good friend, I can't help to miss you more and more.
They say time heals the broken hearted, I say the more time that passes with out the presence of the people you love, you miss them more, and more, the longer your not with us, deeper this pain goes.
I know your with Jesus and that is all the peace one needs or could ask for.
But still I am humane and selfish and wish things would have ended differently.
I wish I could see my smiling friend and I wonder if you would of had children now and what you would of named them.
In my memories I see you, I see your smile, I see you running towards me and hugging me like you did the very last time I ever seen your beautiful face, I remember watching you so proud when you were with your fiance Stacy, you were such a good man. They just don't make men like that these days.
I remember your kindness, your joy, how it radiated off you and embraced all needing souls. I remember you were my hero long before Iraq.......... I remember You Brandon and You I shall never forget............ I miss you so much buddy, I pray you were here, until we meet again in heaven, You have touched my life for eternity you were my earth angel and hero long before Iraq..........
