Longing to See My Lost Brother

A blessed day when we first met,
Two souls as one—no divide set.
Like sons of one dear mother’s care,
A bond so pure, beyond compare.

Two birds once freed from caged despair,
We soared through endless, open air.
Each moment held, each laughter true,
My world felt whole because of you.

Why did you leave so soon, my brother?
Why fade away, not stay a little longer?
I reach for you, but feel no trace,
Just silent echoes in your place.

Alone I walk this world so wide,
With only memories by my side.
Like a bird with broken wings,
I’ve lost the song my spirit sings.

I miss you more than words can say,
You’re far beyond my reach today.
But wait for me, don’t drift too far,
We’ll meet again where angels are.
