  24. For a dearly loved Nephew

    A nephew eyes has gone forever
    His smile, his laugh, his face
    Where once he stood, before us
    A lone picture takes his place.

    Gone to soon, a fine young man
    From here, your place of birth
    I can’t believe that this is real
    That you no longer walk this earth.

    Reality is, I know it’s true
    But still I can’t believe
    A fine young man with so much life
    Really had to leave.

    We loved you from your time of birth
    We watch you grow and learn
    My nephew, we shall meet again
    When it’s time to return.
