In loving memory to my wonderful son Burdy
Of all the special gifts in life
However great or small
To have you as my son
Was the greatest gift of all.
A special time
A Special face
A special son
I can't replace,
With an aching heart
I whisper low
I miss you son
And love you so,
Loving mother Mary
I Miss You Always Brother
My heart has been left broken
since the day you had to go
and the memories I treasure dearly
are in the tears that still flow
You're in my thoughts every day
And that’s how it will always be for you may be up in Heaven now
But you'll always be with me
If only I could have the chance to see your face once more
Or to hear your voice one final time
Just like it was before
The day that Heaven calls for me
Will be a relief from, all this pain
I’ll run to you with open arms and we will meet again
Your sister Mika
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile.
If only we could have you back just like we use to do,
Those talks always meant so very much and never shall I forget
The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain forever in my heart
Take care of princess she needed you more than us… Until we meet again… Jhariya and I love and miss you both big bro RIH
