I Miss You, Friend

Seeing life from your eyes
Everything is different
The blue of the sky
Looks a little more blue
The sun up above
Is brighter and warmer
The world spins slowly
But still time passes quickly

I was having a hard day
A challenging year
But your perspective
Changed my life
Now I feel that I can see
Everything, good and bad
Though the outlook is bleak
There is still hope in you

How can you see through the pain
And make this world
So much better for people
Like me, lost and lonely
How can you work so hard
When you know you
Will never profit from it
And only I will see tomorrow

I don't want you to leave here
I don't ever want you gone
Stay right beside me
Bring me this constant clarity
This hope in the darkness
This calling for higher purpose
Give me the strength to carry on
Even though you are gone!

Thank you, Brandon, for what you did for the people that knew you. Thank you for making the world a better place even though you weren't meant to be here to see the good triumph. Thank you for encouraging me, through your death, to live for something more than just 'getting things done.' I feel like I haven't done enough, and you showed me that the little things count. Thank you for being who you were in life. Thank you, God, for bringing my brother in you home, as painful as it is for those of us that must stay behind. I miss you, Brandon, and I will always remember you!
