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.
