Alive in Our Memories

In memory of my uncle Nick Brown. He was taken to soon.

Nothing but memories

Slowly they're slipping away

I'm grasping on but there's not much I can do

My worlds gotten darker

It still hasn't hit

The sky is your home

I wish it was down here

Flying above, having fun

Always watching

I know that it is you

Three are left to grow alone

You did all you could do

Time went to quickly

I wish it could have slowed

The world is so unfair

I wish I could understand

But I know I never will

The little girl will grow

She'll graduate so strong

One day someone will ask her for her hand

And we'll make sure she's loved

Her wedding day will come

Something will be missing

But we'll do the best we can

The boy will be a man too soon

Not quite sure what it means

Kindness shall bring him far

He's been taught that well

The little boy will grow up

Something will be missing

He doesn't get it yet

He'll grow up knowing time was cut too soon

And there was nothing that we could do

Now tears flow down our faces

As we ask our lord why

The children will grow up

And they'll grow up just fine

You left them in good hands now

You've done all you can do

We know you're watching over us

You're our guardian angel now

We're awaiting the time until we can see you

However long that may be

You overcame your mistakes

Learned to change your ways

Life was finally coming together

And then you got called away

The little boy started football

I know you didn't know

But we know that you'd be proud

At the way he runs across the field

We cling onto our memories

Where you still live on so well

Our love for you shall never fade

It's written for eternity

Never to escape
