Dedicated To Chris Marsh
My Brother from another mother died before my eyes.
A one pack a day smoking habit is what caused him to die.
When it was all over, what did I do to get my nerves set?
I stepped out of the hospital and lit up a cigarette.
Tobacco is the world's most addictive poison.
It's more difficult to give up than crack cocaine or heroin.
To all who may be reading this, I say from the bottom of my heart.
If you haven't lit up a cigarette yet, please don't ever start.
His death was very slow and lingering.
I never saw anyone in such horrific pain.
I miss you Chris and I kept my promise to you.
I've stopped the nasty habit.
