A Poem For My Brother

My brother, my baby, my protector, my friend
Until I had a family of my own
It was you and you alone I treasured
And loved more than anyone.
From catching fireflies in the night
To watching little league games, it
Wasn’t long before we grew and knew
Life wouldn’t be the same.
No matter where we went or what we did 
we Never lost sight of those two close kids.
Years passed by and the bond still grew
Into what we called “Me and You”.
There will always be just you and me
And in my heart you now beat free.
So, baby brother I lay you to rest
But know that you were always treasured
And best.
I say a prayer, I’ll sing our tunes,
And once again we’ll be together soon!

I love you!

This is a beautiful poem Shannon. I just happened to find it tonight. I cannot believe you are gone. But I know that you are smiling and singing with your brother again. Love you my friend!
