Ode to Chris

You were the older brother that I always adored,

It is sad to see you gone;

I will miss your smile forever and never let it be ignored,

Your spirit will live on;

You left without even a word said,

It hurts me beyond belief;

No contact meant that our friendship was dead,

It caused our family much grief;

I did not know where you would go or wander,

I just wanted to know that you would come home;

You had so much you needed to ponder,

Did your Odyssey take you to Rome?

I saw so much promise in all that lay before you,

You were always so brave and kind;

When I discovered you never made it through,

I just will not let you out of my mind;

I cried myself to sleep,

Shivering in my cold bed;

I could only weep,

I wished you had been fed.
