Tribute by brother, Collins Dale

MY BELOVED BROTHER

I hold onto your memories. The ones that are so dear

I will keep them close to my heart

You did so much for me, so much more than I ever did for you. I hope you will forgive me, for all the things I didn’t do.

I wanted to do everything you did, because I wanted to be just like you. Now I sit here wondering what to do, because there’s no one to replace you.

I never did tell you all the things I needed to; like how much I really loved you.  I wish we could go back in time. My heart is damaged and scarred because you left me all alone. I don’t want to be alone; I need my brother; I need my best friend. You are a brother who always wants to bring out the best in me. I could not have chosen a better one.  You were the best on earth.

When you think of me while you are up in heaven,

Think of how much and how special you meant to me.

 

It’s deeply sad that you left without saying goodbye,

But just remember we all love you deep down in our hearts.

 

My brother now you are gone

No longer here to share the bond we had together

A bond of love and care.

 

I miss you very much and my tears I cannot hide

Ever since you went away

Life has never been the same

Yet, it comforts me to know

That one day we’ll meet again

 

Norvinye, hede nyuie, dzudzor le Nutifafa me.
