A poem by Georgia, for her brother John Morrell III

I watched you from a boy grow strong into a man when I saw you hold your baby girl I thought I knew god's plan

It was not to be my vision of your time. God had other plans for you and took you in your prime

I watch your little girl her heart so sweet and true and every time I look at her I see so much of you. She shares your stubborn temper she shares your smile too but more then anything she's a living part of you

A life cut short, so sad so true your memory lives on that I promise you.

You struggled through this life, your place you longed to find. I hold you now forever in my heart and in my mind. You are not forgotten nor were you left behind. So many things in day to day of you they do remind.

Baby brother loving son even brand new dad. You touched more people then you ever thought you had.

More then just the family you had so many friends so many people mourn for you their love they long too send this aching in my chest seems to have no end yours was not the only heart to broken to ever mend.

I miss you baby brother more then words could say. So many thoughts so many tears all my love I send your way
