Tribute to Ian Ebbs, from his sister, Kala:
This is a poem written specially for you big bruv
I wish that you could hear it
Perhaps you can from up above,
You were the kind of brother on occasions I would see
But you knew I was always there for you
As you were there for me,
Chasing me on nylon carpets
Shuffling your feet in socks
You used to laugh, as I would scream
Delivering your weapon of static shocks
Spider man you thought you were
Climbing so high up the wall
But not quite the talents of Spiderman
Because you had a fall,
Both your arms and wrists in plaster
To you it was so cool
Because you couldn't write for weeks
It was an easy time at school
Once standing sheepish in our doorway,
Catching blood dripping from your chin
You'd fallen off my moped
And scraped away some skin,
My new moped, I was mortified
Now had these scratches all down the side
It wouldn't have been so bad and I'd not been so upset
But it wasn't fully mine; I'd not finished paying for it yet
Party invites from me to you
Always yes would you reply,
You are the kind of dancer
All the others could rely,
Be it grease YMCA or the dance where you sit on the floor
You are the one that led the way
Wanting to dance some more
I will always have a part of you that alone belongs to me
But I'm not going to share it
Sorry, I'm selfish like that, you see
I will keep you in my memory and a place within my heart
And I thank our mum and dad for you
You are a work of art,
Today it is so very sad that I won't see you any more
And along with our brothers and sister,our five will become a four
The loss of you has made us see
How much we all love and need each other
What a tragic way to realise this
But thank you Ian, I love and miss you, my fab big brother
With love always Kala xx
