                      Of tears through the years, we had traveled long

                          Remembering snatches of childhood song

                                Memories spoken of so long ago

                       Dear Johnny, the brother that I used to know

                         When you were but five, and I nearly three 
                  
                          Our family was torn to a pieced memory

                    
                           Always my brother (though cousin to me)

                     
                     Your photograph tucked in mom's Bible there be

                        Mama found me crying and holding her Book

                           Hugging that photo, your cherubic look

                          But mother was angry, and took it away

                     For you were no more part of our dear everyday

         
                        Johnny, so long had I prayed and I dreamed

                             We'd be reunited, and that day came

                                                  ....

                                             it seemed

                  When you and your sweet Angel Dear of your life

                       Your beautiful darling, your amazing wife

                      Made contact again after so many years

                  And the JOYOUS reunion of laughter and tears!

         
             But your precious heart was still riddled with pain

            You left us. Your life's song? Now sorrows refrain.

                 Sometimes, John, this pain I can hardly abide

              You chose to depart, crossed the longest divide

          Did you really think that your pain would be through?

              We inherited it John, we still grieve for you!

        
          Oh, Father! Please, mercy! Our pain we can't hide

                 Comfort us Father, from sorrows abide

            Father, please, mercy, to those dwelling here

               Hope beyond all hope, You'll dry every tear

             

                   Johnny, I love you, dear brother to me

                    May Abba deliver from despondency

                 Blessed mercy and hope, for eternal light

                  Shining in healing and conquering night

     
              Eleven long years since the day that you died

            Crossed over by choice, that long dark divide

               Did you not know you would rip every heart?

           The choice that you chose ripped us further apart.

   
            Comfort, oh Father, I drift back somewhere kind

           To our childhood moments, we so long left behind

          But they bring no comfort, for heart breaking pain

                  Never to shine out in pure joy again
                  
            So, please, in Your mercy, let hope spring anew
             
              For all hope was shattered, except Lord, in You
