My Brother

A friend, a brother, you always were
Always a welcome at your door;
I am going to miss you, that's for sure
Time was so short, wish there were more

Always discussing and sharing our lives
There for us, helping, as you could;
Playing guitars and singing together;
Many a night, as families should.

Enjoying life with us, through the years
From our childhood up into adult time
Some were happy times, now there is tears;
You will always be in my mind.

I couldn't have ask for anyone better.
