Oh Brother, Where Art Thou

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? By Kenny Davis Oh Brother, my dear brother For where art thou? Never thought it was you in my life That I would have to go on living without In the news of your passing My heart in a roller coaster of emotion So much love, rage, sadness Filled with devotion and commotion Oh Brother, Dear Brother Why must you leave me so soon? Having mere chances to share spring like rain showers with you Only to not live to see the budding Dogwoods bloom I take comfort in the fact In knowing why you had to leave To finally claim your rightful place in Heaven One of God’s enduring angels is forever free I take solemn in the fact That you are physically no longer here But all of the memories you left behind for me Will be forever treasured in my heart Brother, My Dear I take peace in the fact In knowing why you were called Because you have rightfully fulfilled your purpose And God said, “Now Servant, that is all.” I take abundant joy in the fact In knowing you are now in a far better place Anxious to see once more that smiling face When it comes to be my time to approach those pearly gates I take everlasting hope in the fact We shall one day meet again In advance, thank you for watching over me from heaven Farewell oh brother, my dear brother, my dearest best friend ©March 2013 k.davis
