MY BROTHER

I had a big brother… and now he’s gone.
His life was taken…his presence we long
The family thought… that he was no good
Because he didn’t do…how they thought he should
He could have been better…if given a chance
But no one would listen…as if in a trance
We all have a weakness…and we like to blame
The one that is weaker…and we have no shame
So what does it matter…now that he’s gone
Was he so bad…was he so wrong
We stood at his gravesite…shedding our tears
Wishing he was with us…knowing our fears
We could have listened…and gave him a chance
Cuz we all have faults…if we just took a glance
At the real person…that we all knew
The brother our Mom had…we know it is true
We loved him and need him…our hearts cannot bare
The thought of him gone…our love we can’t share
He was my brother…I loved him so dear
I didn’t care what he did…just wish he was here
