Ode To Thy Brother
Sitting near will o' the wisp, I stare through you.
When day breaks, the fog rises above the dew.
I do wonder about you. You were my brother.
It was your birthday the other day and I wondered
How you were in heaven. Oh heaven, you are here
With me always. Always you caress my thoughts.
I bought a new hat and wondered how you'd like it.
Caps on our heads, racing down slopes on sleds.
It's said, life goes on forever and forever it's
You in my sometimes lonely life. I'm grown now,
A family of my own. Once you were my only family.
