It was that dreadful, saddened day
you changed our family forever.
I knew it would be best fr you,
but didn’t know for me.
You wanted to do it for your country,
yet you were still a little afraid.

During your absence it has given me time
to think of ways I can escape this
to escape all this pain
nothing is working for me
it’s almost like a never ending chain.

We tried to keep in touch in time
by writing letters and you calling me
nothing seemed to work
for that lost time you have missed with me

with you there and me standing here alone
I get excited for that day to come
the day when we are reunited
you will be back in the coming year
to help me through things and yet protect me

finally that day has arrived
you came back into our lives
we laughed, we hugged, we cried
my life came back to me

the love I am feeling right now,
I know you can feel it inside
but I want you to remember through you life
you will always be my big brother
someone I will never forget,
and yet still look up to forever!
