YOU

By Gloria Martens Kablan

When I looked at you, I saw YOU Tho your eyes were filled with pain. When you spoke, I heard YOU Tho your words were soft and slurred When I touched you, I touched YOU Tho your body was frail and weak, The outside changed, But the inside was still YOU The love I feel for you Is the same love I have always felt, You were, you are and you will always be YOU. Now that you are gone, you will be deeply missed; But joy is felt, for you are finally at rest. Sleep peacefully through eternity in the Angels arms, You will always be in my heart; You were and always will be YOU. Dedicated to a very special, talented man, my brother and my friend, Matthew, who was once so vibrant, so alive, but was snatched so quickly from our lives by a disease that shows no preference, has no reason or understanding and that robbed Matt of all dignity and self worth. He will be deeply missed and always remembered by those who had the honor and the pleasure to have had their lives touched by him. Sleep peacefully Matthew. I love and miss you.
