To My Baby Brother

What’s nearest and dearest to my heart Yet is the farthest and the hardest To realize that we’re apart Watch you grow from a boy to a man She’s gone now And yet you claim Someone else to be The one who gave birth She didn’t leave She’s still in spirit And he has you calling Another women this name (mom) Only one deserves that place And she’s not here All because she wanted the best For her only baby But all she can do now is Watch you as she rests You may claim her But I know in your heart That mommy will be mommy From the start I know you miss her And I miss you too Just remember she’s watching down on you Remember all you been through Me, you, him and her We were inseparable Now that she’s gone The chain has broke Tried to link it back with a different shape Nope, no one can take that place I’ll always love her as if she was my own Even though she’s gone You’ll never be alone
