I couldn’t go to sleep my brother
Until I spoke with the only other
One who is watching over you
The one who watches all you do
Who sees your pain and your tears
That fall and you do know I’m here
For you for dear brother I love you so
I try so hard so I can show
You that you are never alone
My light is here and it has shone
For your eyes to see
Love flowing from me
Before I close my eyes tonight
Please look above and see my light
For my heart is holding yours do dear
Please close your eyes and do not fear
I will be with you again we will sit and eat
I will help you in and out of your seat
I will wipe your eyes with a gentle hand
I will always listen even though I don’t understand
I promise you as I lay my head down to rest
You are my brother and you are the best
Please dear God watch over him tonight for me………………………….

Beautiful thoughts coming out straight from the deepest core of the heart.” I will wipe your eyes with a gentle hand”, really touched me. Very emotionally charged but what are we without gentle emotions. Thanks for sharing such beautiful lines with us.
