Good Night My Brother br br Good Night my dear brother. br It seems that is all I can say br as today you close your eyes on this, now fated day. br My mother she shed a tear and asked us all simply to pray. br br We hear her heart breaking br Cracking as she… shuffles. br She moves quietly in her room. br The house is still lit, she doesn’t want any gloom. br br She ponders to herself we are sure; of what is to come. br The children left behind, still wondering on the moment. br One minute he was there and the next he is gone. br Confused by it all...the children...Oh the children! ...oh what is to done? br The police have now come and gone br as dear brother he passed away at home br lying on his bed, no movement.. no…no breathing in his room. br br Good night my dear brother br Those cigarettes br They did you in. br We spoke but some weeks ago br you lamented then, that that may be the way you will go! br Those accursed things took my father too...you knew this then and here we are br Five years later and back again. br br Good night my dear brother br It seems that is all I can say br I love you dearly br You knew that...I love you beyond the grave. br I know God now keeps you br I know that you accepted him br I believe God keeps you, br So good night my brother dear, our journey has not come to an end. br br Your sister. For my brother Val.
