Happy Birthday Jay Dub-Yah Poem by Carrie Kath

Happy Birthday Jay Dub-Yah



23 today. heart melts but memories never fade
you are missed
you are prayed for
you are heaven sent, don't I dare forget
laughing for your sake
refusing to cry today too
I took it down like a champ last night, and maybe I was doing it for you
Maybe I say because I was just having lots of fun
But the fun came to an abrupt end, when the news had come
It's been almost 3 years now, we've only 3 months-4 days til that mark
And I remember everything you said to me, before life got so dark

I wish you the happiest birthday, in heaven I know you are
I think of you fondly, when I look to the sky and see the brightest star

It started to rain on the way back from my brothers house last night
and I believe the rain are angels tears, but there weren't many i must admit

I had to let my boyfriend drive, because I was so out of it
I hope you're smiling knowing that I'm straightening out my strife
But mostly I hope that you're celebrating, your wonderful, yet short life

20 years old and gone on my father's birthday.
I'll never forget that call
I once had a really true best friend in you
But then I felt I'd lost it all.

You are gone but not forgotten
Thought of by many everyday
I just remember the good times
Because that's all that matters anyway

Only the good die young, the song is what he wrote
I believe the good die at all ages
So let me clear my throat

I'm choking up writing this, because it hurts me deep inside
But then I think of smiling, because you were always about pride

I have to go now, stop writing is what I mean.
The devils greatest victory is when a good man does nothing....
you had to have written that before the scene [ended]

I believe the angels, have carried you up above
because the one thing you were always about, was love, love, love.

Happy Birthday angel.
Wish you nothing but the best
and now all can see
what an impact you had, on not only my life, but all the rest.

rest in peace.
