Dear Brother,
Today I couldn't stand
I couldn't speak
I couldn't lift a hand
You see, my dear brother
When you left, you left me here to be.
And now I don't think
I can ever get to sleep.
Dear Brother,
Today I missed you so.
When mommy slapped me down,
you weren't here to grip me in a hold.
When I cried at night
You didn't tell me about the happy-making sights
And now I don't think
I'll ever be right.
Dear Brother,
Today I turned fifteen.
I wish you could have seen.
I had no cake
I had no party
I just went to your grave
It's right by our favorite lake.
I gave you some flowers
I gave you some prayers
And now I don't think
I have anything else to share.
Dear Brother,
I'm getting older now.
My hair's brushed gray, and I don't know how.
I sit in a wheel chair
That moves slower than a snail
But the only thing I'm happy about
Is maybe soon I get to go up your route.
And now I don't think
I'll have to suffer from mommy's shouts.
Dear Brother,
I don't have much to say
But I'm coming up to see you today.
My fingers are weak
My heart rate is low
I'm all plugged up
To machines down this row
I'm ready to see you now
I'm excited too.
And now I don't think
I'll have to miss you.
Dear Sister,
I was at your funeral today.
I took your hand, and led you the way
I smiled to you
And you smiled to me
I don't think, sad could possibly be.
I missed you so much.
I really did.
And now I don't think
Our fun will ever be rid.
