Maybe I don't look like the 'type' to get a tattoo anywhere,
perhaps you wouldn't guess I'd do something so permanent.
I know I change my mind more than I change my underwear,
but you have absolutely no idea what these initials represent.
"CRS" upon my wrist - you'll probably make assumptions;
an ex-boyfriend, perhaps? Maybe the one I'm with today?
But thinking that will prove to be a most foolish presumption,
for this tattoo immortalises the uncle I lost along the way.
My uncle Chris was covered in designs from head to toe -
from the grim reaper to the ones he couldn't show his mother!
He took great pride in his tattoos, loved having them on show,
but suddenly he was gone; he died before he could get another.
What better way to remember him than his initials on my wrist?
I know that he would have loved it; even my father approved!
No ink could ever truly express just how much he is missed...
but unlike poems and photographs, this memory can't be moved.
