I Remember

I remember your smile, it was quite charming.
Your laugh was contagious; your face, heart-warming.
I remember how excited you were Christmas morning.
Now, four years later, I'm still in mourning.
I remember New Years Eve, we sang karoake.
With confetti on your head, you were so happy.
You were so little, only six years old.
You were so loving, with a heart of gold.
I remember the very last day that I saw you.
We had a good talk, you wanted a sister, too.
You have what you wanted, your lil sis.
She's a lot like you, full of laughter and bliss.
I dream of you being here to be her big brother.
I know it can't happen, don't know why I bother.
I remember that day all too well,
And now here today I'm still in a shell.
I remember the day we put you in the ground.
I was standing there hoping that one day I'd be found.
I was standing there wishing that you could just stay,
But my only hope is that I'll see you again someday.
