Young man I never knew,
why do you linger?
Is it to watch of your mother,
that loved you so?
Or to watch over her lover,
that held you close?
Young man I never knew,
I know you watch over both.
For your memory lives here,
as if you never left.
Young man I never knew,
I see your pictures,
that dot this house,
like tiny stars of memories
shining thru the darkness of deepest
pain.
And in those gentle eyes,
I see a great sadness,
that perhaps not even you could
explain.
Young man I never knew,
In one of my darkest hours,
I felt you there,
and I thank you for your comfort.
Young man I never knew,
Show her that it is ok to finally
say goodbye.
Young man I never knew,
show her that it is not her fault.
That the guilt she holds, bears no weight.
Let her know, it's ok to let it go.
Young man I never knew,
let your brother know,
that all will be ok.
Young man I never knew,
You mother misses you,
Your friend misses you,
Even though you have
long since left this
plane of exsistence,
I know you are still here.
I see you from the corner of my eye,
hovering over your mother.
Standing behind your friend,
giving comfort, where ever it is needed.
Young man I never knew,
kiss your mother,
and hold her tight.
Let her know,
that you're alright.
Young man I never knew,
Thank you.
