In Memory of My Brother, David Palmer

Never dreamed, it would ever happen that day
My brother would be placed in the arms
Of an angel, taken to heaven to stay

At night, I can look up in the sky
His shiny star, I can see
Shake my head and say, why? 
With us, you should be

In reply,  I hear him say,
I love you, too, sis
Sorry, so far away
Each of you, I too, miss 

Just remember, when you"re down
Look up and you will see me
It will help take away your frown
The happier, you will be
