This is somehing I have hust been given by a friend of DANIEL / Annie Ruch (Mum)
i remember the 24th of february as clear as day,
little did we know then it would be one of ur last days.
i remember u comin round all happy with a twinkle in ur eye,
that is to b my last memory of u it still makes me cry.
we were in my bedroom havin a laugh,
whilst blaring dans music all actin so daft.
playin with toys waving them in the air,
god u looked so funny whilst standing there!
you were in such a good mood and you told me to take care
these were ur final words to me u said them so clear.
i can still see ur face and hear u say those words
u looked so manly and always so well composed.
and off i went into the nite, but god do i wish i hadnt
could anybody have put things right?
i still remember my phone ringing and me deciding wether to answer
it was mum ringing to tell me you had been badly hit
my heart sank like an anchor.
we thought ud b ok that ud be back round the day after
tellin us about the fight and how u gave it to em gangsta.
but when i come home the next morning i had a feeling id soon b mourning,
the blood was there where it happened i walk by it all morning.
we kept u in our hearts and i prayed everyday
that i would see u walk in like any other day.
then come the news on that sad saturday
that you was no longer with us i heard dan say.
we all got so drunk and high that day,
i thought i heard you say now im free im ok.
my friend you to me were like a brother,
and never in life will you b replaced by another!
you were an angel to us and a delight to have known,
i know ur watching over me,. never leaving me alone
so to u my dear rushy i have to say
i think about you each second, my love for u never goes away.
and as for the two who took your cherished life away!
i hope ul b imprinted in their lives and on their consciences stay
every 24th february trust me they will pay
for they took away our walking angel who has now flown away.
love rox
