My Brother

He was my brother He was everything to me My kingdom come All I ever wanted to be So many years of loving We dedicated together An eternal friendship, an eternal bond A love we’d share forever Until the day that wrecked our lives Until we got that news That my baby brother, all I had I was going to lose I held him tightly in my arms And told him not to cry That he’ll be safe and in great care Of the angels in the sky Each night I’d sit beside his bed And watch my brother moan In pain and awful heartache Just wanting to come home I watched his illness killing him Deteriorating fast I’d kiss his hand and stroke his face Each day and night that passed Each night I’d look out from my home At the starry skies above And hope that god is treated with My brother’s sacred love
