It’s been 4 years since that dreadful day
When you were unfairly taken away
So many dreams and plans that included all eight
Were crushed in a split second on this date
We slowly remembered that they were your dreams too
And to toss them away would be unthinkable because we knew
You would want . . . no expect . . . that we continue the dream
Because after all, we all are still a strong family team
And though here on earth it may only be seven
We know you are smiling down at us from above in heaven
xoxoxo to you John . . .
