To My Baby Brother

What is 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 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 boy
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
