My feelings for my brother and best friend. You were taken too young. |
I Remember I remember a time in youth Brothers, best friends together always. Fishing, and baseball, - oh those were the days. I remember, together as teens The fighting and arguing and all in betweens The laughing and joking till tears filled our eyes. I remember those times each day I wake Not understanding God's choice in who to take A brother, a father, a good man to all. I remember our last time together Sitting and talking well into the night Together, your sickness we vowed to fight. I remember you asking, “ Jer are you sure” Looking at you, our eyes filled with tears “ Jack you’re my brother, my blood is yours “. I remember them saying the transplant went well Kissing you goodbye I went on my way I am fine, you - said no need to stay. I remember that night in June The phone call we’ve all come to fear Still remember those words after all these years. I remember those words, will all my life Your wife's voice shaking “ the transplant failed” Three little words through my heart like a knife. I remember you, brother, always so strong I pray every day, I hope you forgive me I thought I could help you, I guess I was wrong. I remember a time in youth Brothers, best friends together always. Fishing, and baseball oh those were the days. In loving memory of my brother Jack…. 01-17-54 to 06-02-03 When you died, a part of my soul died with you. |
