Bradford Ralph Clark 1948-2007

Every night before I lay to rest
I watch the pounding of my bare chest
I’m replaying it all inside my heart
And wonder just when did your end start

Every morning inside my car
I wonder if your body knows where you are
I’m double checking over my right shoulder
And I can hear my tear drop as hard as a boulder

Every time I adjust the rearview
I am reminded of the last time that I saw you
I’m nervous that I didn’t tell you that I loved you enough
And then I know I’m trippin’ with all that foolish fluff

Every moment that you looked at me the night before
I told you that I loved you down to the core
I’m so in love with my Daddy Brad
And having talks with an uncle like you always made things not so bad

Every thought of Uncle Jamal always made me feel sad for you
I know that losing your brother like that was a lot to go thru
I’m now feeling the loss and pain of not being able to help
And waking up in the middle of the night wanting to blame myself

Every second that I sped to the hospital is such a blur to me
I got there as fast as I could only praying for God to give relief
I’m a believer in His word and know what’s meant to be will happen
And realizing this each day is getting easier with the help of my Captain

Every day I look at your ashes wondering should I set them free
I am keeping it as a reminder for now, sorta like a diary
I’m blessed to have spent your last two days no further than a foot away
And I’ll keep those memories with me forever and ever and a day
