I wish I could tell you face-to-face
How my fencing team won second place
But now you’re gone without a trace
My heart has only an empty space.

My brother that I’ll always love
Is watching me from up above
With Him you’ll fly high like a dove
Enfolded in His heavenly love.

Although you have had to go
You and I will always know
You never left my soul, alone
Still in my heart, that’s where you’re home.

I’ll never know the reason why
The reason why you had to die
But now you rest, you do not cry
My brother, my friend, I tell you, goodbye.

Though you’re gone, the memories live on.

I’ll miss you.

With love always,

                               Your sister Amy.
