Jacob

I don't know you
But you're my brother

The one of two
That's six feet under

I wish we could have met
You'd be awesome I bet

A great guy
Why'd you have to die

Today, it's been 22 years
It's still bringing mom to tears

She can't move on
Her dear child gone

When we visit your tombstone
I leave y'all alone

Just mother and son
Who's life had just begun

You're in a better place
Held in God's grace



                      Jacob L. Earls
                             RIP
