Only You

It was a sorrowful day as people from all around gathered in a building filled with dirge.
Dressed in their best black in recognition of you.
They came with memories, which they shared with a smile as the tears rolled down their
melancholy face.
As they told the stories it felt as though you were there smiling down amazed at what was
said.
You were a friend, a brother, a child and many more.
You touched so many hearts and made an impact on so many lives that you will never be
forgotten, by all who attended that sad, sad day.
It was only you who turned a smile upside down on all those people in that room.
And you will always be remembered by the way you lived your life and the wisdom you taught
to everyone who had meat you and seen you walk by.

To all the lost loved ones and to you Chris, who I will never forget. You will never be
forgotten.
