My Dear Brother, Your Memory Will Never Fade
My dear Brother now that you are gone
You're no longer here to share the bond we had together -
A bond of love and care
Yet, somehow something tells me you are watching over me -
Now that from Wordly cares you are finally free.
I miss you so very much, and my tears I cannot hide.
Yet, within my heart, I feel you are always by my side.
Ever since you went away, life has never been the same.
Yet, it comforts me to know that one day we will meet again.
Unknown
