I watched you grow
from an infant to a man.
Your not here, I know
but I don't understand.

We shared memories
from beginning to end.
You wasn't just my brother
You was my best friend.

We laughed and played
and struggled with life.
Together we prayed,
and together we'd cry.

Now that your gone,
I have this hole in my heart.
I feel so alone,
my world has fallen apart.

To start over, to move on,
I can't figure out how.
I pick up the phone,
but then I put it back down.

Your not there for me to call,
Your not by my side.
So many tears did fall,
on the day that you died.

Every tear drop echoes in my ears,
every heart beat is filled with pain.
The reminders that you are not here,
are slowly driving me insane.

I look at your pictures, at memories I smile.
I think of your dreams, you hopes and your plans,
That sweet little child
grew into a wonderful man.

I look at your things,
and I start to cry.
God I can not blame
but I can't help but ask why.

I know what I should do,
but I can't find the strength.
I think God he took you,
although it leaves an unbearable pain.

My silence God hears,
I know he is there.
When I sleep he wipes my tears,
And he cradles me with care.

He assures me your alright,
and removes the burdens from my heart.
For he knows the battles I fight,
every moment we are apart.
