We've known each other now for years,
So today the news I heard brought tears.
I thought that I was prepared for the day,
That I'd hear you had passed away.
I guess it's just something you can't prepare for
It just made the tears come more and more.
The moment I was told was all a blur,
It's so sad this had to occur.
It came so quick, everyone was shocked,
In my mind the memories locked.
The memories of you, flashed in our minds,
And the sadness of those you'd left behind.
That big smile you always displayed,
That never for an instant seemed to fade.
Another thing that stayed in my head,
Is the laughter, cheer and joy that you spread.
All the students were sad, the teachers were too,
When we thought back to what you'd been put through.
You were in a lot pain,
So in this world, you just could not remain.
It's so terrible you had to leave,
Your absence makes all of grieve.
Our eyes instantly filled up with tears,
As we remembered the passed years.
A visit from us is long overdue,
But we have to wait till our time is through.
Until that time, a prayer or two,
Everyday I'll say for you.
We love you Darko, we always will,
The memories will stay with us still.
You Were Always There
You were always there
Through the laughter and the cheers,
The sadness and the tears,
Over all those years, you were there.
The sorrow and the grief,
And the pain beneath,
The hurt and all the belief, you were there.
You did for me like no other would,
Loved me like no other could,
Throughout the good times and the bad,
You were there.
But the biggest pain of all,
The deepest sorrow I've ever felt,
Was the day I found out you were gone.
You weren't there,
No one to call and say it's all right.
No one to run to and hold me tight,
I'll say goodbye, please always remember,
I'll love you now and always forever.
I love you D.J.
