Uncle Scott

How would you feel if you lost a loved one?
Well I know,
It hurts a lot,
I lost one,
He gave up on life,
We don't know why,
He was an uncle to me,
But a dad to two amazing children,
His name was Scott,
My nan,
Immobile at Christmas,
His birthday just days before,
But on the anniversary of his death,
I will scream at night,
My names Tanisha not that'll teach ya,
We all think he visits me,
It's a hard topic for my family,
It wasn't something that we wanted,
But we all share one wish,
It's to have him back,
We all miss you,
Uncle Scott we want you back.
