Dear, dear brother.
You stole away in the night
And though you had a heart as big as the sky above,
You took a part of mine when you went.
A hole that I can only try to fill
With the thin smoke of memories of you.
Your smile
Your hands, ever ready to help out another.
The joy you took in living and embracing life.
Most of all the memories we shared as we traveled the intersections of our journey.
My dear brother,
You have been gone but a short time,
But so soon an eternity missing you.
You live on deep inside my soul
As does the love I’ve always shared with you.
Goodbye my brother.
Goodbye my friend.
