Still just a boy, but already
hinting at the man he'd be
if he had not, instead
watched us crying there
from somewhere overhead
and waved goodbye.
He filled the bed
as he filled his years with ball games
of all kinds and cartwheels,
kindness, laughter, loyalty
to family, team and God,
who gifted him without revealing
it was only for awhile.
He filled the bed.
He filled his time on earth,
learning more and packing more into
his sixteen times around the sun
than if he'd lived far longer.
He filled our hearts.
He always will.
