A Poem For My Brother

My brother, my baby, my protector, my friend Until I had a family of my own It was you and you alone I treasured And loved more than anyone. From catching fireflies in the night To watching little league games, it Wasn’t long before we grew and knew Life wouldn’t be the same. No matter where we went or what we did we Never lost sight of those two close kids. Years passed by and the bond still grew Into what we called “Me and You”. There will always be just you and me And in my heart you now beat free. So, baby brother I lay you to rest But know that you were always treasured And best. I say a prayer, I’ll sing our tunes, And once again we’ll be together soon! I love you!

This is a beautiful poem Shannon. I just happened to find it tonight. I cannot believe you are gone. But I know that you are smiling and singing with your brother again. Love you my friend!
