A life has closed one door
Never to look back anymore
Another door has opened wide
The width of this is oh so wide
Mysteries held for all to seek
For those who are sick and very weak
More help is coming for him today
I only have to stand out-of-the-way
The love I have will carry all through
But I can’t help feeling a little blue
I release him into your hands of care
For his care I will open and I will share
Remember he is only on loan
It is always with me that he has grown
He may be six feet tall today
But he’s my baby brother all the way
Take good care of him as I walk out of his door
Don’t let me come back to find him no more.
I love you my brother you have filled my days
But now I realize there are many more ways
To keep you safe and free from harm
I have walked you to the door and let go of your arm.
