Number 26
Written by: ka2107

I remember when we were young, with no cares in life.
And here we are today, with tears of pain and strife.
Never would I have imagined my heart could feel this way,
But if I could speak for all of us, this is what we’d say…

No matter how much time we had, it was all worth the ride.
Doesn’t matter where you are, we’ll always be by your side.
Don’t forget us, because it’s impossible to forget you,
Our pastimes and memories will always stay true.

We don’t realize it, but time can fly.
Before we know it, we’re forced to say good-bye.
Only time can heal the wounds, that tears cannot fix,
But never will we forget you Zach, number 26.

It doesn’t matter how much we pray,
We won’t get to see you again, ‘till the end of our days.
Nothing will fill this gap of emptiness, consuming my every thought.
And though we’ve left the past behind, you leave us still distraught.

No matter how much time we had, it was all worth the ride.
Doesn’t matter where you are, we’ll always be by your side.
Don’t forget us, because it’s impossible to forget you,
Our pastimes and memories will always stay true.

We don’t realize it, but time can fly.
Before we know it, we’re forced to say good-bye.
Only time can heal the wounds, that tears cannot fix,
But never will we forget you Zach, number 26.

Up ‘till now, not much has changed,
But that empty chair beside me, will always feel strange.
And as we take those steps into the unknown,
We all realize that we’ll never be alone.

And as you gaze down upon family and friends,
Know that our love for you, never ends.
Remember that our unending care for you will never depart,
Because you, Zach… Number 26, have imprinted on our hearts.
