This ones for my Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Snow and Uncle Brian, it is a bit longer then i first anticipated and i think i lost flow a bit here and there, but this is what i ended up with.

GRANDPA
11 months ago
to this very day
my world came crashing down
as you were ripped away.

You filled our lives with laughter
and our tainted hearts with love
you listened to all our hopes and dreams
and I know you still do from above.

You gave everything you had
to everyone around you
but this world had gotten the best of you
and it was time to bid adieu.

GRANDMA
5 months ago
to this very day
my world came crashing down
and the sunrays turned to grey.

You were the love of his life
the other half of his soul
I know it was hard to live without him
and the pain sure took its toll.

The sparkle from your eyes
could light an entire room
Oh how I do miss that, but I know
you have found peace with your groom.

UNCLE SNOW
5 months ago
to this very day
my world came crashing down
as god sure had his way.

You were a man like no other
with a heart of pure gold
your hand always extended
for all walks of life to hold.

You helped raise me from a child
your compassion was a guiding light
a light that leads me to harmony
and keeps me safe tonight.

UNCLE BRIAN
4 months ago
to this very day
my world came crashing down
and caused my faith to stray.

You were amazing at the least
but you were tortured from the start
God tested your limits, and played puppet
with the delicate strings of your heart.

I shared my dreams with you
and you listened with belief,
I would give anything to have that back
to help me through this grief.

My faith in god got tangled up
in the loss of a mass of love
that was on this very day
many days ago.

Inside this exterior, over which the eye might have roved…there was the record of a pulsing life, which had learnt too well for its years – Thomas Har
