MY BROTHER...MY FRIEND...

They say that you have "gone away", but gone to where?
You looked out for us, with your love and care.
But now as an angel.Soaring the heavens above.
You fly around all day, keeping us safe with your love.
By law, we were brothers, but by heart, we were friends.
We shared so much...The laughs,the snickers and the grins.
So,what do they mean by "gone away"?
And it isn't everyday, that I see your face,or while alone, I hear your voice--
But..with every thought-I get a warm embrace..
So, "gone away"..that's only a choice. I live with you, right here in my heart.
TO ME, MY BROTHER, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NEAR.

These are the thoughts of a young boy, put into the words
of a grown man. Such great lessons at an early age and it helped
to turn a major page in my life. Thank you for the
good times, and the bad.  When I needed
to learn, you were there.  Sometimes just like a "dad".
But, now you are in heaven.  So far away,
 but I will be DAMNED if I let your memory slip away.
I will see you again one day later in heaven.
Tomorrow or another day, and everyday thereafter.
I LOVE YOU BROTHER. 

Goodbye from Billy's Mama..
