You were UTEC's welcome.
We always walked into inviting smiles and cheery hellos from you.
I don't remember ever giving a huge without your mighty arms hugging back too.
I know you before you blessed the walls of UTEC.
Now that you've gone, it's like everything's a wreck.
How could you just pass through my life feeling me with your wise words, jokes, and constant care
Then suddenly leave, with nothing for me to hold on to except the memories shared.
You didn't just leave this lost girl
You left this entire bleeding world.
It tears me apart to think what a difference you would have made.
But I realize that you already have so I won't let you fade.
That benevolent smile could heal this whole Earth.
No one ever got to tell you how much you are worth.
You always used to tell me to keep my head up high.
I'll remember that in these times, but I refuse to say goodbye.
Because you will still live in all of our hearts
Maybe we needed an Angel and you were best chosen to play the part.
So many loose ties and unsaid goodbyes
So many things left undone
We lost a brother, a friend, a teacher and a son.
But I am proud to have known you baby
Stolen fromt he world too soon, and stolen from me.
At least we were blessed by your presence for this long
I'll think of you each day, and try to stay strong.
I miss you Big Brother...
There will never be another.
Tha.
