BROTHER

BROTHER
Someone once said memories fade
When loved ones pass away
That time takes care of feelings
And soon there'll come a day
When we no longer feel a lump
Deep in our throat below
We'll not miss him quite as much
But they will never know:
How a brother made us smile
A brother made us proud
A twinkle in his eye
How he laughed out loud
How he took the time
To teach us everything
He's the reason we can hear
The melody when we sing.
Someone said that we'll forget
That tears will not be shed
As memories will disappear
Once a brother's dead
If we just get on with life
And look ahead, not back
Then we can readjust
But they forget we lack:
A brother who was full of life
And so full of love
God took him a bit early
To watch us from above
His eyes we cannot see
His voice we cannot hear
But he is still a brother
We miss year after year.
