Remember Me

As we lay him down to rest, we say our last goodbyes. The parting words are hardest, as we send him up high. The life of a child cut short, but he finally has his peace. His mom cries and runs a hand down her dress, flattening a crease. His voice comes to us, like the wind. "Forgive me for what I have done, forgive me for my sin. Do not weep for me, do not shed any tears. Promise me one thing, that you will face your fears. I love you all but I must go. Remember me, but without the slightest woe." -In memory of Brandon E. Bitner & Adam Clayton Young R.I.S.P Brandon & Adam

Cheyenne, although I am thousands of miles away in Inverness, Scotland. I just needed to find out about this lovely tribute. I was saddened to read about what happened to Brandon. You have written this so beautifully >> James :)
