I remember you falling asleep on my chest
I remember you taking your first steps
I remember your first day of school
I remember the bike riding, thinking you was cool
I remember your birthday cakes
The big smile they put on your face
The smile that lit up more than a room
The smile sparked something inside of you.

Ambition, inspiration
Courage, dedication
Take no days off, Neftali
Forever in our hearts, ball out up there.

You loved your family like they were your kids
You made fun of the things they did
You brought smiles wherever you went
You never played both sides of the fence
You were the best brother in the world
I loved you when you played with the girls
Respected your parents like we were gods
Went all out for your mom, against all the odds.

Ambition, inspiration
Courage, dedication
Take no days off, Neftali
Forever in our hearts, ball out up there.

I’m gonna miss playing catch with you
I’m gonna miss all the laughs with you
I’m gonna miss all the smiles
Watching your games for a while
So now life ain’t the same
Missing the man you became

This isn’t just a rest in peace for Neftali,
I’m giving you the best of you, the best of me
It was meant to be, the pain wasn’t meant for me
Never could get over
Weight on my shoulders like I’m carrying a boulder
I gotta stay strong, maneuver like a soldier
Playing my part, pray for understanding cuz they tore us apart
Wanna tell your story, but where do I start?
If I could ever sing, I would share stories
How we shared everything, every moment, every second
How I teach you every lesson
God you was a blessing (a blessing)
Neftali
