"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 worldly cares Y

ou finally are 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'll meet again.
