One day here the next day gone
The blood we share shows the pain
My brother best friend and confidant
Taken at such a young age all too soon
just beginning your life
such tragedy stuck
hold on is what i would pray
please dear brother don't go stay
you came to me in my dream
please little sister let me go
those were the words that you spoke
in a hospital chair i awoke
tears streaming down my face
how could he take you from me
a gunshot at only fourteen
i went to your bedside
you looked so helpless
your pleading words played again
please little sister let me go
i spoke with broken heart to you
dear brother find peace ill let you go
to others never to show
it broke my heart that day
the years have past and you still come
my dreams you haunt checking on me
what beautiful children you have
how strong you are
these are words you have spoken to me
i haven't visited in a while
but still i think of you
dear brother in heaven in peace
my love will always glow
watching over me day after day
whispering in my ear
little sister stay strong
to you this i owe
dear brother peace be in your heart
love until we meet again
protect me always as you have been
dear brother you were gone too soon
and still i think of you
