[bodytext] => Dearest Little-Big Brother, I haven’t forgotten ~ Or left you behind, I’ve had things to say ~ Words to find, I left so quickly ~ I didn’t know, I feel the pain ~ That you don’t show, I watch my kids cry as they dream, And I know ~ They’re crying for me, I know what they need ~ And I can’t do, So big brother ~ It falls to you, We made a deal ~ You and I, Instead of three kids ~ You now have five, Hold my babies ~ Like they’re yours, Do this for him ~ And do this for her, Of course ~ You know ~ I’d do the same, If Our Lord ~ Had called your name, Loving your kids ~ Came easy you see, I understood ~ That they were you and me, All the dumb stunts ~ Mouthy ness too, Yeah, big brother ~ They’re me and you, I’m so sorry ~ That I can’t be, There now ~ When you need me, You have the best help money can buy, Mom raised us ~ And we survived, I don’t know the future ~ Only today, And I know ~ That you won’t walk away, I know you feel lost ~ I know you cry, I know you wonder ~ Why I had to die, I know your world is heavy and dark, And I know ~ You have a broken heart, No one asked me ~ If I wanted to leave, Yes, it hurts ~ To watch you grieve, Yes, I know all about mom, Count your blessings ~ Each new dawn, You’re doing good ~ By mom and the kids, Tell them you love them ~ Don’t keep it hid, Make sure your three always know, That they were loved by Uncle Joe, I always played so rough and tough, Don’t blow my cover ~ Or expose my bluff, Back to us brothers ~ You and me, Brothers and friends ~ Like it should be, Death does change ~ The family scene, Both worlds separate ~ Not much in between, So remember our secrets ~ Our signals too, You’ll always know ~ When I’m talking to you, Brothers yesterday ~ Brothers today, Brothers tomorrow ~ Brothers always, Don’t push me back ~ Or fear to speak, Laughter is strength ~ Silence is weak, Keep me near ~ So my kids will know, That they too ~ Have part of my soul, It’s time now ~ I’ve had my say, Take care of our family ~ Remember to pray, I can’t say goodbye ~ I can’t let you go. I love you big brother ~ More than you know. ~~~ Joseph Clinton Adams August 19, 1976 ~ March 18, 2007 [comments] => 2 [counter] => 350 [topic] => 52 [informant] => tifrob [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )
