Never will this rock break

So he is remembered.

Specks from it stick to any hand

That holds it.

Cloud Gray,

Coffee Brown,

Sediments pressed

By thousands of years.

His ashes

Will roam the Earth

Just as long.

Sometimes holding this rock:

A little 6 year old,

With dark brown hair

Comes to mind

I've never met him,

But I know who he is.

He's a boy, that'll never grow.

A boy that left space in life for another.

He's a brother I love,

But we've never spoke a word.

A rock, is all

To remember him by

Many places it's been.

A rock and black words.
