My Brother

Sometimes it seems like yesterday

That you were here with me

When we shared each day together

Brother and sister, family

But then I recall the day in my memory

Twenty seven years ago

When I had to say goodbye to you

Forever let you go

I held your hand and told you I loved you

Just before you closed your eyes

That last moment we shared together

Before leukaemia stole your life

Every single day I miss you

My beautiful brother Glenn

So much I want to share with you

My very first best friend

Just to hold you tight and hug you

Tell you everything that’s new

Just to talk, or not at all

Maybe just to sit with you....
