I'd like to have this in the cafe... if you would be so kind.
It's a poem for my brother who passed away

Thank you

 

 

What is a brother?

A brother is someone that you cherish,
Someone you think will never perish,
But in life we can not control fate,
Yet we know we can not hate,
Now that my brother has gone on his way,
I will think of him every day,
He will be my guiding light,
To watch over me each day and night,

I remember all the good things,
That we shared in the beginning,
The joys and laughter of his voice,
When I think of him I rejoice,
For he is happy up above,
Flying around with all the doves,
Keeping an eye on all of you,
From the clouds in heaven that are so blue,

John knows that I am feeling sad,
But he doesn't want me to get mad,
For some day we all will meet,
That's when he will show us his beautiful retreat,
The heavens they are a beautiful sight,
As it sparkles with lights that shine so bright,
It's a whole New World way up here,
Some day soon we will all be there,

This wonderful world of mystical lights,
That never goes out and shine really bright
I think of these words John would say,
Be happy sister for me on this day,
So dear sister be happy do not fret,
My life was completed with no regrets,
The family was always there for me,
Now I'm in heaven at peace and happy as I can be.
