Meredith
Here lies my brother, Meredith,
Here lies my first love
Broken by fate and Silenced by Death
My heart bleeds for you,
My heart longs for you,
Whilst I mourn your death,
Proud descendant of the Malian tribe.
The Sun has set at Midday,
The paddle is lost at Sea,
Snatched by the angry waves,
We're now adrift in this Ocean of Misery,
Death be neither arrogant, nor proud,
for Meredith is risen in the clouds,
To rest forever in the bosom of the Lord.
Here lies my Brother,Meredith.
Here lies my first love, And here I stand,
On the threshold of his Tombstone.
