Justin



My best friend before I could breathe
I was brought home on this day
But god gifted you to me
You taught me lessons in this life that only you could teach
And showed me strength and of true toughness
When it seemed so out of reach.
Growing up you were my cover
Growing up you fought for me
When worlds got dark we cried together
Deep understandings endlessly
So on this your day forever
You’re in my heart close like no other
I feel you now but I can’t wait till God calls me home to my Big Brother.
