He Was My Big Brother

He had kind eyes
He had a big heart,
He had a great smile
He had a good life start,

He had it good growing up
He had friends all the time,
He had a girlfriend that he married
He had a family by twenty nine,

He had a boy and two girls
He had a dog and a cat,
He had a house on the hill
He had a lake in the back,

He had a job with good money
He had a future so bright,
He had good health on his side
He had everything right,

He had a dark secret
He had always lied,
He had us all fooled
He Died - SUICIDE,

He was my big brother
He was loved everyday,
He is missed in our lives
He's in God's hands, he lay.
