When I look at all the pictures
So many emotions come my way
They keep him alive & breathing
But then the truth takes my breath away
This didn’t happen to us,
Not to my family
Not to the Narciscos
Frank, Sandy, Anthony, Dominic & Francine
My parents’ story doesn’t include burying their son
Their Dominicky, nicky – noo
The joke… they’re favorite one
The three of us as siblings,
Just so naturally close
Never forced, always together,
We loved each other the most
I was always in the middle
With both of my brothers on my side
Smiling, laughing, dancing and filled with so much pride
“Keep the memories alive,”
That’s what I often hear
“They will bring you peace and comfort
As you hold them dear…”
But I grieve for how our life once was
I grieve for our yesterdays
I grieve for the future and
For how we could have spent our days
The longing for his presence will simply never subside
I won’t get over his death, but I will move forward with him inside
Inside my heart
Inside my mind
Inside my smile
Inside the signs
He always said that the future is so bright
So I must live that life for him and take comfort in his light
