TO GEOFF WITH LOVE
IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY
THAT I SAW YOU LAST
YOU STOOD IN THE DOOR
WAY
WHAT AN AMAZING SIGHT
MY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BOY
BECAME A MAN OVER
NIGHT
WE TALKED A LITTLE
I LISTEN A LOT
AND WONDERED WHERE
THE LITTLE RED
HAIRED
BOY HAD GOT
YOU WERE IN A RUSH
YOU HAD FRIENDS TO MEET
NEVER A DULL MOMENT
WHILE
GEOFF WAS A FLEET
BEFORE YOU LEFT I SMILED & SAID
"I MISSED YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY"
YOU
GRINNED, "I KNOW YOU DID"
WAS YOUR REPLY
I GOT A THANKS FOR THE FIFTY
I
SUPPLIED
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU
THE LAST GIFT I GAVE
THE LAST HUG I
GOT
A TREASURE I WILL ALWAYS SAVE
WHEN I GOT THE PHONE CALL ON MAY 22
I WAS SHOCKED AND AMAZED
IT
COULDN'T BE YOU
MY MIND WAS IN A DAZE
BUT THE DYE WAS CAST
YOUR LIFE
WAS GONE
NOW WE ARE LEFT, FILLED WITH HURT
AND WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT MOURN
WE
MISS YOU DEAR GEOFF
YOUR MOM CRIES EVERYDAY
WE TRY TO CONSOLE HER
BUT
THERE IS NO WAY
YOU WERE HER LIFE
HER BABY BOY
THERE'S NO SPARKLE LEFT
SHE JUST
EXISTS
SHE HAS NO JOY
WE QUESTION WHY
WE BLAME YOUR FRIEND
WE'RE MAD WE'RE HURT
WE CRY
AGAIN & AGAIN
WE WANT TO KNOW WHY
AND IN GODS' NAME
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
THAT
DAY WHEN YOU LET
"YOUR FRIEND" LEAD YOU ASTRAY
OUR QUESTIONS GO UNANSWERED
THEY WILL STAY THAT WAY
UNTIL WE JOIN
YOU
ON OUR FATEFUL DAY
Love, BJ
G E O F F
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE YOU'VE
BEEN GONE.
HOLIDAYS
HAVE COME AND GONE.
YOUR FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE,
IS AT ITS'
END.
THESE ARE ALL HAPPY TIMES,
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
AS FOR US
WE
STILL MOURN.
YOUR MOM,
DREAMS
OF THE DAY
YOU WERE BORN.
NOT A
DAY GOES BY
THAT SHE DOESN'T CRY.
SHE ASKS WHY,
SHE WONDERS,
SHE
QUESTIONS,
SHE ASKS WHAT WENT WRONG.
DID SHE MISS A HINT,
WAS THERE
SOMETHING SHE DIDN'T SAY,
THESE ARE QUESTIONS SHE ASKS EVERYDAY.
BUT,
YOU KNOW DEAR GEOFF
YOUR MOM WAS THE
B E S T
THERE WAS NOTHING SHE
DIDN'T DO.
YOU DIDN'T THINK,
YOU GOT LEAD ASTRAY,
OH, HOW WE WISH YOU
COULD REDO THAT DAY.
AS FOR THE REST,
GRANDPARENTS, AUNTS, UNCLES,
COUSINS
AND FRIENDS,
WE MISS YOU,
WE LOVE YOU,
FOREVER IN OUR
HEARTS
WILL YOU BE.
For my best friend Karen, May 22, 2003-Love,
BJ
