To you, from me.

I wrote this for my cousin who passed away on the 15/06/10 but in the view of his younger sister.

From when I was a child
Till I was a grown woman
From when I didn't understand
Till the time I understood more than I should

You were always there when I fell down
You were always there to say well done
You were always there to be a big brother
You were always there to be a good son.

The memories I have of you
Will remain
The memories I don't have of you
Won't matter

The people you love will not forget you
The people you love will celebrate your life
The people you love will forever love you.

I can only imagine what your mother feels
The pain of losing a child, what an ordeal
Remembering that you were once just a baby in her arms
Remembering the joy of bringing your little soul into the world

As the months went by, you were in pain
We must therefore remember that
We must therefore appreciate this tragedy
For the Lord knew, the pain
For the Lord knew you couldn't go on

We can only praise the Lord
We can only get on our knees
As the answers to our questions
The answers to our sadness
Are known only by Him

There shall come a time
Where we can release that bundle
Release those questions
Ask the Maker,the Giver of life
Why He let you be taken away.

'I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart'*
