How I Feel Today
Today I have just heard I had lost my oldest Brother
I was told he had died in prison
To me he died more than a year ago
He had caused me more grief than he would ever know
Leaving upset and pain
Causing even me! blame
Since finding out what he had done to others
I had found no good thoughts for him! “My Brother”
Sorry Father and Mother
And for all the others
I want no sympathy for our loss
We will grin and bear it at our cost
For how can I tell anyone how we feel
When mixed up! I don’t really want to know what is real
He deserve not our sympathy
From his Sisters or Brothers
Our sympathy should be saved
For his Children, family and his victims of others
He has left us feeling guilty of all our feelings
But we have every right
To all of their meanings
He has done us all wrong
And don’t let us forget it
I am sad that we can’t just let it
Our memory with him is now tarnished for ever
With the evil and harm
That he had done
I now wish for peace and calm
Wash away my Brother sins
Not for him but for us
We must leave them that we must
Wash our feeling in his dust
He is gone now
All we cuss
We must carry on now
That we must
Building our memories that we can trust
For the good of the children and all of us.
