Written For Jeremy

In Loving Memory
Jeremy Gene Sharpe

Beloved To Everyone Whose Heart He Touched...
He Was My Nephew.

A Day
 
I took a day to cry for you
I took a day to grieve for you
I took a day to lay in bed, and just remember you
 
It took a day, but I could just make out your smile
It took a day, but I could almost see the twinkle in your eye
It took a day, but I could almost hear your laugh
 
Then, I could feel again
Then, I could breath again
Then, I could feel my heart beat again
 
Then, I cried some more.
 
I know that every day without you will hurt
I know that every day without you will feel empty
I know that every day without you we will feel your loss
 
But I know that soon we will see you all around us
 
We will capture your smile on the face of a toddler doing something he's not supposed to be doing
 
We will hear your laugh escape from the belly of a tiny baby, pure and true
 
We will feel you in the touch of our loved ones
 
And we will smell your hair in the morning breeze after the rain
 
 
You were more than a gift, you were a blessing.  Sent to us to show love, inspiration, and strength in it's purest form. 
 
It's time to rest now, our Sweet Angel... What a beautiful life you will have now next to God.
 
We will miss you, today and every day.
