My Brother Riekers Gone

MY BROTHER RIEKERS GONE On this autumn dawn I stand; At the cemetery where they laid you down; But the YOU, you are YOU are not here Standing here before the grave of Riekers; Funny, How? Dad and Mom allow you to be buried in your sneakers; You play basketball well, I give you that But being a star, well I rather have you back; Brother Riekers your gone, but within me you live on, live on; I will try and be strong being a twin is as being as one rest in heaven I'm holding the flowers I should have given; You flowers while you were living; I stand before you grieving; Your death I'm not receiving; Tears running down my cheek; I wish that I could peek; Beyond the ground, beyond the grave, beyond the casket; I'm so ashamed; Brother Riekers your gone, but within me you live on, live on; I will try and be strong being a twin is as being as one rest in heaven Wish I could trade places with you; You're do young to be there, guess God wanted you; Gone to soon, to soon; What am I suppose to do; Can't stand here and say, it's I'm all right; This would be wrong I hurt both day and night; I'm lost within; Sleep on my twin brother, Live on I'll see you later; Brother Riekers your gone, but within me you live on, live on; I will try and be strong being a twin is as being as one rest in heaven 09/13/17
