My Uncle:
I remember when you used to pick me up when I was little
Although the way you held me in the air made me giggle
I miss the unknown feeling of what you were doing living outside
I often heard about the bad side of living there
But I wish I knew more about the good side
I miss how quiet you were
Because I’m quiet too, so it was good having someone around that I was like
I barely saw you show sad emotions
I wish you would have left me that potion
I just miss you
I miss wondering what you were doing
Now I’m wondering what I didn’t get to learn about you
We never know what we have until they're gone
Better to experience each other than to regret not knowing who you were around
It’s your anniversary of your death
And I’m just paying my respects
Now I’ll let you continue to rest
See you later Uncle Steve
