For those who knew my brother in law for who he was on his journey through life, they knew he had only one woman who was the true love of his life, unfortunately for him he was chasing rainbows. In the latter days of his time here he had made his attempts to reconnect and tryed once again to have his hearts desire by his side yet the cruel twist of fate would not let him have her as he so longed.
Going through his meager posessions in an attempt to set a proper memorial service up for Steven, his sister had come across his poem book. Yes a former Green Beret who was injured in Honduras and lost the majority of his leg, has a book of poetry he had been writing passages in through the years and there were a few that stood out in his siter's eyes.
The love of his life who had wanted nothing more of him than to know he was alive in the final year or so of his life, demanded the spotlight and all attention directed towards her as she showed her concern for the fallen man in his final hours, as long as people were watching at least. His final entry in this book I will share with you now to give you a better understanding of his heart that MY words cannot begin to describe. This is the poen that was chosen in lieu of a prayer card to share with anyone who cared about him or knew what he had been through in his personal life.
Steven's Heart : Young & Forever (To Someone once loved)
We were young, our thoughts were of forever. But instead of forever true love of one, you, It seems just wanted money and fun. I wanted all of you, which was too much to ask. Is that why there were so many others? Oh, so sad it is to give your heart whole heartedlyto another. To one who don't think it could truely matter, for let me tell you,It can make the other's life shatter. Tho,there will always be a special place filled with Beautiful memories of tears and joy, Also sadly, there is a tearing apart of heart and soul, That was gladly given totally in the sight of God and others. I guess to some, it really does not matter. For we were just young and thought of forever. And yet, I still have love for you.
Rest my brother, you are missed
