Missing you

Standing in the room
as silence filled the air
news that you were gone
left me in despair

As the smile that i once had
moved the forms of my face
everything that used to matter
your life could not be replaced

You were my gentle giant
i stood on your feet
you would walk me across the room
with pain that made you grit your teeth

I no longer hear your voice
the void in our family is there
for a brother who is gone
but always loved to dear

As your anniversary approaches
we light a candle as we remember you
our prayers and thoughts surround
or memories of the things we used to do.

We love you with all our heart
our tears tare our face so worn
heartache fills our hearts
But our love will never depart
