Eitan Sam Stern-Robbins

Sometimes we have to expect the unexpected, And sometimes the unexpected has to expect us. To cry pity, fear and shame To always remember his name And No there was not something wrong with his brain Because he did just fine. One of the smartest kids I knew actually His goals and dreams and visions, never temporarily blind He didn’t just succeed but he excelled, When his brothers were doubtful and insecure, he never fell Maybe it was his positive outlook or his “I don’t give a shit “ attire Or maybe he was left to wallow in the mire We started with 9 and now we are down to 8, Our brotherhood surpasses its subjective dictionary definition But I assure you this mustn’t be fate Nobody deserves to die this young and go out the way you did But like I said before it wasn’t his brain that was at fault, he made the most out of his opportunities and rather it was our brains that become clouded with fog This poem is for you Eitan because we love you and always will. It’s the unconditional love that feels so permanent and that’s because it is I want to thank you for positively impacting my life and engraining in me that it’s ok “to not give a shit.” Love your Brother and Captain- Brandon
