You were gone

25 3 4
                                    

Like a comet that shoots across the night sky

A rainbow that disappears in the twinkling of an eye

You were gone

Someone so cherished and loved by all

No would have expected such a fall

Yet stronger you stood, in the face of death

You stared him in the eye with no regrets

You're an inspiration

A leader

A brother and a son

A person that will be cherished for forever, 

and surely beyond 

You were claimed a victim

By one who takes so many

With no mercy

They slip from our grasp 

Up into the heavens

With too much of a head start 

Dearly you shall be missed

Without a doubt 

But never shall that stop us

From crying out

Rip Adem

We love you.
