Today I remember you
But not as a child, but as a man
The man you proved to me you were
Age is nothing but a number
I do not wish to remember the bad, but only the good
I remember you smiling and laughing and goofing around
And how you tried to play chess
You loved to skateboard and hangout with friends
You were one of the best soccer players I know
Your heart it always glowed
I miss you so much today
But I am still smiling for you, celebrating for you....
Happy 18th my dear one
