Goodbye My Brother

I've seen more than my share of death I’ve cheated death also I thought I'd seen it all But I was wrong I learned from one of the best To control and hide my emotions That's one of the things I'm good at But not tonight The first person I laid eyes on that night When I went through those doors was Josh It broke my heart even more I knew right then it wasn't a dream Oh how I wish it was I latched hold of him Not wanting to let him go Afraid I'd lose him too Even though we're not blood You're still my little brother How do I say goodbye I can't I won't So I'm saying see you later for now I will see you again one day Even if I don't make it into the gates of Heaven I will see you when I stand in judgment You'll always hold a special place in my heart Love you always my friend my brother Dedicated to the sudden loss of a close Family friend Jeremy Maggard 11/19/82 ~ 11/06/09

Heart rending one! I lost my two younger brothers few months ago & I can feel this pain.I have also written a poem "My 2 Lil Angels" when I was suffering from this pain. Lots of love for you.
