My Brother
by Kathleen HighamMy heart is filled with memories
Traveling down this painful road
I held him on my lap once more
It was such a heavy load
All my life I loved him
Never could I forsee
Traveling down this painful road
He would choose to leave me
I have cried so many tears
And in me deep regret
Long ago snuggled on my lap
I remember the moment we met
He was such a character
I laughed until I cried
Now he sits on my lap
And I can't believe he died
My brother was so gifted
And this is just not fair
Wishing I had another chance
He thought I didn't care
So we take this final journey
And I hold him to my heart
I put him with his brother
But we'll ever be apart
My heart is filled with memories
Of a boy that I once knew
A little box sitting on my lap
But my Lord has come for you
