Big Brother


Big Brother,
born for those days of adversity
Your loving words
always did greatly comfort me

I loved you from the first time
you tickled my toes
I loved you even more
when you said to me: love God and let go

You told me not to hold on
to all that pain and misery
You said in order to free our soul,
we must have faith and believe
Always believe in Jesus Christ,
our only True Friend for life
You said you're just a big brother
trying to tell me that which is right

Big Brother,
I loved you from day one,
and over the years it only grew
This deep love that's in my heart,
will always be there for you


A tribute to my beloved brother Michael
