As short as life is, its lessons are long
We learn good from bad, and right from wrong
We take some things for granted; others, we prize
We say hello and sometimes too quickly, goodbye
We go through the motions, grind out the beat
We dance to life’s rhythm; we taste bitters and sweets
Life takes us on highs… and crashes to lows
But through all the trials, we’re eager for more…
There’s something to be said for a smile like yours
One that illuminates the darkness and sings silent chords
There’s a joy to be found in a voice soft and sweet
And inspiration behind a person so unique.
So heart-wrenching the thought of it all thrown away
A life not really yet lived, yet now exists in the grave
Sadly, senseless acts of violence happen every day
We hope that its evil doesn’t make us its prey…
Somehow it got you clenched in its teeth
And all that we’re left with are precious memories
Oh, how I wish you were here baking a cake
To add to family festivities on Christmas Thursday.
The tears will keep coming and the days will seem long
But you’ll live in our hearts and your beat still plays on…
You’ll be missed, Darriel… so caring and sweet
Goodnight, little cousin… rest in peace!
