My dear Brother now that you are gone You’re no longer here to share The bond we had together – A bond of love and care. Yet, somehow something tells me You are watching over me – Now that from Worldly cares You finally are free. I miss you so very much, And my tears I cannot hide Yet, within my heart, I feel You are always by my side. Ever since you went away Life has never been the same Yet, it comforts me to know That one day we’ll meet again
David Ison
