Eleven in Heaven

Although time is not defined in heaven
For us left behind, today marks 'eleven'
Years of longing and insurmountable grief
Your impact so huge, yet your days so brief

Memories on repeat so they won't perish
The grainy photos I've learnt to cherish
What we shared was a bond like no other
How honoured I am to have called you brother

I yearn for that precious, promised day
Where we bid goodbye to death and decay
When our sorrow fades and tears are no more
As they're washed away by eternity's shore
