My Brother

My brother moved away,

And I miss him still today.

I know it hasn't been long

Since he's been gone.

You may think it's not a big deal,

But he was there when I was ill.

He played with me when I was alone.

I wish he could have stayed at home.

I wish he didn't have to leave.

Now all I have to do is grieve.

I hope he'll come home

On any day that I'm alone.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have a 28-yr.-old brother who moved away when I was real little.  I only see him maybe 2-3 times a year and I miss him so much.
