My Brother My Friend
My Brother, My Friend
You saw the goodness in others
For you had goodness within;
My Brother, My Friend
You touched the spirit of others
For your spirit flowed free;
My Brother, My Friend
You taught us to laugh
As you laughed often;
My Brother, My Friend
You lent a helping hand
Without question, without hesitation;
My Brother, My Friend
You shared your experiences
So that others may also experience;
My Brother, My Friend
You gave all that you had
So that we may have some too;
Many battles you fought,
Many miles you walked;
The love that you gave,
The hugs you exchanged
Were an expression of your spirit
That lives on through
your children, parents, siblings, and friends;
My Brother, My Friend
You loved us all so much
And you knew you were loved;
My Brother, My Friend
You celebrated our lives
And we will celebrate yours;
My Brother, My Friend
