Brother

Ive missed you brother,
Since you left this earth. 
 Somehow I make it through 

If I'd have known 
The pain you were hiding
I'd have carried that load with you

I'd give anything 
For a moment more
To hear you laugh again

To see you walk
Through that door
With that goofy grin


Time is nothing
Just a thief
Stealing every second

Leaving nothing 
But memories and tears
I know cannot be reckoned 

The bond we have
Is much too strong
To ever become broken 

There's never been
More truthful words
Written down or spoken

As days waste away
Melt into years
As time marches on

Ill honer your memory
Little brother
Until my own life's gone.

      You have my word,
      All of them!!
