My friend I never got to meet

My Friend I never got to meet.

David, you are my friend that I never got to meet.

I'm sure our paths have crossed several times.

Had they intersected I'm sure we would have had a great time.

Perhaps we could have took our dogs out to the woods or water.

Perhaps we would have sat down and had a chat. 

I'm sure we would have had some answers to the world's problems.

In the recent days I got to know you in a way that I wish it didn't have to be so.

I got to see all these pictures of a handsome man

A young man stolen from this Earth far too soon.

You lived a life that I'm quite envious of.

You did a lot of travelling

You seen majestic places

You touched people's lives around you.

Especially your brother Mathew and your mother.

All of your siblings had a special place in your heart.

You created  3 beautiful lives of your own

I'd have been glad to call you "my brother"

Thankfully to both you  Matthew and your mother I have THE greatest soul in a dog I've ever known.

I have a strange feeling you could have helped me with my dream of doing some travelling in my old school bus that I plan to turn into an RV.

I wish that I could have given you some older brother advice from somebody who's been through some very dark places in my life.

I wish I could have given you the hope that you needed.

There are many struggles through life.

What one person may deem petty

The next may take to heart.

The truth is nobody knows exactly what the person right next to them may be going through.

One thing I can say is you were loved very much so and you are missed.

For now you are my friend that I have not met yet.
