Oh brother, oh brother
Follow me in dream and
absent thought
Watch me grow and
discover this world
through eyes
you've never met

Oh brother, oh brother
What would you think?
Of this life I live
Would you tease me or
care for me?
Hug me tight.

Oh brother, oh brother
A sight for sore eyes
Follow me in essence
and bring me love from above.

Oh brother, oh brother
Stay in my dreams
my thoughts
Watch my life
Be there
stay there
where I know where to find you.

This poem is about my 32-year-old brother. I never met him, he was shot before I had the chance.
