My Brother

Brother i miss you so dearly I am sorry you left before i could say goodbye What a beautiful soul you are your passing away has left us so empty My dear brother i am sure god made it a pinprick because i cried to the lord that you must not feel pain I am sorry i was not there to save you I wish i was with you just to sit by your side To say a prayer when you lie on the road Your friends did find your favorite shoes on the other side Sorry brother for being so young and snatched away Mum was sick and they called for someone in the Family to identify your body As they drove closer to the station Memories of our childhood hit me so badly Sitting in the car i lay my head next to the window so that the wind can dry my tears As we came closer My heart pounded with fear could they have made a mistake Thoughts of hope flashed in my mind that you were still alive As they took me nearer I saw this body covered with this silver foil I was frightened brother i managed to take a peak And found you brother oh what sadness i felt You lie still and cold an empty body Blood dripping from the hole in your head I found a flower and placed on hole of your injury I wept like never before I bent down and kissed your cold lips And bid your farewell This is my prayer to you my brother Dear god look after my brother Bless him with all your love Shower abundant grace on him God you know what a kind soul he was He was loved by all his friends His family loved him God please look after him As you know his heart was studded with rubies and gold That was the beauty of his heart filled with kindness and love I know you have made a special place for him Brother i hug through my words You have left your legacy behind Of impeccable qualities One day i will meet you again In heavens road when its my time in this temporary world We blow kisses for you brother Know we will always treasure the memories we once shared Goodbye brother
