Me and my brother as two parts of One.  Nina & Grant - Leli & Reli.

MY ONLY LELI

  

You will never know

How you always help

And how well I know

That you expect nothing in return

 

As those little kids on the beach

Embracing

You knew one day

You will be saving my life

 

I felt that too, but found out

The truth of it now

Time cannot erase that moment on the beach

For we shall remain Leli and Reli forever inseparable two parts of one

   

Grant Gabrielian          2005/ To sister Nina Gabriel

My Little Boy, My Big Man

 

I knew a man, a man of steel,

I knew a man with the heart of a golden lion,

I knew a man with the vision of a white eagle,

 I knew a man with the hands of a magician,

 

I knew a man filled with passion and compassion,

             Passion for universal truth and compassion for fellow humans,

 

I knew a man who knew how to love and forgive unconditionally,

 

I knew a man who was a genius, who made use of his knowledge,

I knew a man who contributed to humanity in many ways,

I knew a man who saved many lives and gave vision to numerous people,

I knew a man who possessed enormous humor, who made us laugh and cry from

           laughing,

I knew a man who made everybody proud and happy just being with him,

I knew a man who knew more than anybody would imagine,

 

I knew a man who taught me great many lessons in life,

I knew a man who gave me will, power, and strength,

I knew a man who assisted me to become who I am today,

I knew a man whose name and legacy will live for eternity,

But, I also knew this little boy, whom I loved more than myself and more than any words

            could explain.

I knew this little boy with whom I grew up and shared my life with,

I knew this little boy with whom I played and studied with,

I knew this little boy with whom I laughed and cried with, and read the fairy tales to,

I knew this little boy by whom I lived and was my reason to be,

I knew this little boy with whom I shared my all: my happiness and joy, my sorrows, and

              my dreams and visions,

 

I knew this little boy who brought happiness and joy into my life, enriching my life with

            his angelic smile,

I knew this little boy with big dreams and great vision for making a difference in the

          world,

           Some dreams were realized, but some left for me to dream and realize on my own,

I knew this little boy who did become the man I knew,

My Wizard and Magician, my Samurai and Warrior of Light,

My Little Boy, my Big Man, my brother Grant, whom I love unconditionally here on

            Earth

And who is in Heaven now, whom I still do love unconditionally and more,

But I miss him enormously and this is when no words can explain.
