I wrote this poem for you when you were snatched away, every word had a meaning or a story behind it, Four years later and every one of those word stabs me when i read them. I miss you still old boy, nothing changes but the weather.

Dreams

Like a Fish out of water,
Or a day without dawn.
I can't hear his laughter,
I'm so lost without Sean.

My life feels so empty,
I'm only a shell.
I'm living in torment,
I think i've found hell.

I stare at his photo,
And remember those days.
When care free we stumbled,
Along life's rocky way's.

Be it a British city street,
Or an Iraqi desert road,
As brothers in arms,
We bravely strode.

It's all finished now,
The dream is well over.
Canada is history,
And i won't mention Dover!

Together till the end,
No questions asked.
Now all i have,
Are dreams of the past.

Forever mate.

Ben.

` I walk in your room but your not there just posessions and
books say HI I was here I go to your graveside but your
not there just flowers and a picture to say we were there
I look to the sky and the stars twinkle down and I know
that they say He's safe up here
love you Sean Mum

I saw you there, the day of your funeral, sitting on the rafters in the church having a little giggle when your section commander told us the story of you and the bb gun. Cant believe you gone. all there is left are memories and photo's.

Our children still remember their uncle Sean and when remembrance day came there was your Nephew standing at the cenotaph right under your name.

Miss you terribly and God bless you Sean. xxxxx
