Ryan Cobert Beckner

September 5, 1976 - January 20, 2009

OUR MEMORIES
They say there is no reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried;
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to live without.
