Brother
Ive missed you brother,
Since you left this earth.
But I somehow make it through
If I would have known
The pain you were hiding
I'd have shared the burden with you
I'd give anything
For a moment more
To hear you laugh again
To see you walk
Through that door
With that goofy grin
Time is nothing
Just a thief
Stealing every second
Leaving memories
And all these tears
I know cannot be reckoned
The bond we had
Is much too strong
To ever become broken
There's never been
More truthful words
Written down or spoken
As days waste away
Melt into years
As time marches on
Ill honer your memory
Little brother
Until my own life is gone.
You have my word,
All of them!!
