Analysis of My big Brother
Aquilla Bracken 1987 (Denver)
Many times I have so much to say
But this is different because you didn’t stay
I still needed you to help me and guide me like you always have
But God needed you more so you chose the glory path
This pain I feel is unbearable it’s like no other
Lord please tell me what am I supposed to do without my brother
My first best friend my forever friend
The one that protected me all the way until the end
There is nothing like a brothers love
But I pray you sore free just like a dove
I feel so helpless I wanted to take away your pain
And even when I told you that you still didn’t feel the same
You fought a big fight against cancer and when God called you answered
You’re my hero now and forever
And one day we’ll be back together
I know for now its temporary and it won’t be long
But I still can’t believe you’re gone
We were always taught no matter what to love one another
Well I love you Myron Lee Bracken...My big brother
