It was a wonderful day there was nothing to fear,

Who would have thought death was so near.

We always had so much fun,

I didn't stop to think that B's time was done.

It was a day like no other I had ever had,

It was a day that will always make me sad.

It started on the mountain and ended here,

I lost a friend that was very dear.

Four days later we were in a sea of pink,

There was not much time for us to think.

A life was taken away too soon,

We sat in a church that afternoon.

Braden went home to our heaven above,

In his short fourteen years he left lots of love.

It's a day I lived through, I will never forget,

He left us his love and we will always remember it!
