A Painful Memory
By Ruben Angelo Cruz
(My Primo)
His tragic death was just so wrong
It's sad to say that his life is gone
We persevere, through this sad and hard time
No matter what, Reuben's always on our minds
At six years old, h e was just a little boy
But he brought his family, lots of happy joy
He has left us, at so very young
But his work, isn't quite done
He has gone to heaven, at such a young age
And that has brought us, many mournful days
I wish I could turn back the hands of time
I wish the life taken, could've been mine
It made me so sad, when I heard he had died
And when I saw him, I couldn't help but cry
I feel so guilty, because I hardly even knew him
It should've been different, because I am his older cousin
I wish at his birthdays, I could've been there
I hope he could hear me, so he knows that I care
All these sunny days, they're just not quite right
Because there's something, that's missing in our life
That something is Reuben Angelo Castillo
And to me, he was my little primo
We all share his pain and we all share the sorrow
Because without Reuben, seems like there is no tomorrow
But don't you worry, because he's in a better place
And seeing everyone here, brings a smile to his face
Little Reuben was such a happy kid
And now in our hearts, forever he will live
So now that you've left us, and your gone and deceased
All we want for you, is to rest your soul in peace
