David,
You showed me a lot of things,
I learned a lot I didn’t know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing
How to let you go,
I know you didn’t mean to leave me,
Sometimes we have no choice,
I miss being your little sister,
Hearing my name called by your voice,
I wish I got to say “I Love You”
Before you were given to the sky,
If God could grant me one last wish
I’d ask to say “Goodbye”
You always meant a lot to me,
I could never love you less,
I Know It’s True When They Say
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
R.I.P. Until we meet again.
I will always love you brother,
Love,
your little sister Karen
