for my cousin, david.

i stand overlooking the ocean
and i wonder where you might be
are you flying through the clouds
or sailing through the seas

you're adventure is now in heaven
but i know you won't be far
your life will always be cherished
and we'll keep you in our hearts

the joy you gave us is lasting
your laughter and helping hand
the care you showed to others
stretched higher than any mountain

your time here was much too short
but i know we'll see you again
your memory will live inside of us
a son, a brother, our friend.
