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
