Goodbye
to you, my trusted friend
We've known each oiher since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Broken our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, It's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that Spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had season's in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
He
shed a tear as the next letter he wrote was to his hero, his dad.
Dear Papa,
I know you always hated it when I called you that. You thought it made you sound
old but I always did it just to bug you. I'm sorry for all the heartache and
pain I caused you. I didn't mean to do those things. But I did, and I was wrong
to do it. But I really am sorry Papa...please forgive me. I know ever since Mom
died you had a lonely painful journey. Raising two kids on your own and having
to work two jobs and put up with all my bullshit. You thought I didn't know but
the nights you would spend crying tears hurt me inside. So bad, that even
I...fearless Adam shed a tear. I never wanna see you hurt again Papa. You're too
good of a person. I'll always be with you, me and Mom will be watching over you
and Michelle. We'll be the best darn Guardian Angels ever! I love you Papa, I'll
be sure to tell Mom you love her too.
Love you with all my heart,
Adam
Goodbye
Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that Spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like all the seasons, are gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like all the seasons, are gone
As
the thought hit him that the last letter he had to write was to his little
sister, the tears started falling. He'd never get to see her off to the prom
like he promised...he'd never get to do anything for her. He picked up the pen
and started to write...
Hey Baby Sis,
I love you more than life itself. When you were born, I was jealous. I mean you
were getting all the attention. But then you grew up and I saw how lucky I was
to have you as a sister. I'm sorry for all the crap I put you through too. I
know you used to cry when me and Papa would argue and scream and cuss all the
time. But that's not how I want you to remember me. I want you to remember me as
the loving big brother that promised you all the riches of the world. I'm sorry
I never got to keep any of my promises. I was a lousy brother. But Michelle, I
know that you'll go far in this world. Thank you for always helping me through
the tough times and being there for me when I fell and didn't think I could get
back up. I'll be watching down on you too. Don't do the mistakes I did. And take
care of Papa for me...I love you sis.
Love Your Big Bro,
Adam
Goodbye
Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And everytime that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that Spring is in the air
There are flowers everywhere
I wish that we both could be there
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But like the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like all the seasons, are gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like all the seasons, are gone
Adam,
it's time to go now sweetheart. They'll be okay, We'll watch over them together.
"Mom, is that you? Will I be with you? In Heaven?"
"Yes, my darling baby boy, We'll be together and watch over your father and
sister."
"And make sure they're always happy and safe and cared for?"
"Yes, darling....Anything you say.."
He closed his eyes one last time and left for Heaven with a smile on his face
and happy tears in his eyes...
The
End
