My Brother

though I do not know you I feel this absence when your away

I have never met you but I wish about it day after day

mommy says she misses you and you were to young to die

but god wanted some pretty flowers so he lifted you in the sky

he needed a pretty centerpiece young and full of cheer

but if you asked me I would still want you here

I think of how your life would be you and your wife

then I think how could he do that he took your life

mommy is crying now maybe I should quit

tears are running down her cheek and her heart begins to split

come back and spend one more day

because if you ask me she would want it that way
