In Loving Memory of My Uncle Bruce...

[lil_jei]

This was just something I wrote up last week when he was doing poorly...now I'll be reading it at the funeral :(

“Bruce”

I was the little girl with the sad eyes

With a teddy bear and tears

He was the man who believed I was better than my past

And captured me through snapshots over the years

His camera showed the me no one but he wanted to see

The princess

Beautiful words, though I'm sure you wish you didn't have the opportunity to use them.

Thank you and yeah for sure I wish I didn't have to...my grandparents read it and cried and my mom took a copy and had it made into laminated cards for people to have (w/out telling me lol)...

My uncle though was a big inspiration and helped me with my photography and even reviewed my poetry too...he knew me really well and was fine with who I am--I think I'll miss that alot.
