Seven Days
One week before my brother passed away,
he came to see me just to say,
"Sis" is there anything you need me to do,
you are my only sister and 'i love you',
I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek,
"i'm fine" i replyed, thank you for being so sweet,
We sat on the porch, drinking ice tea,
it was so pleasant just him and me.
We talked about his life and the decisions he was making,
not knowing that god was ready for his taking.
He went to see his brothers and dad,
which on that i am so glad,
They joked,laughed, and had so much fun,
in the middle of the night he was back on the run.
Back home he went to his loving mother,
who was the only person that really knew my brother.
He sat in her lap and looked in her eyes,
and told her there was something she didn't realize.
My love for you is so binding and deep,
and in my heart it will always keep.
Before he left on that sunny day,
he looked at mom and started to say.
Tell me the verse i was given as a boy,
it filled my heart with so much joy.
He went to his car and drove away,
everyone not knowing it was his finale day.
Hour and a half later he was taken from us,
from his family and friends who loved him so much
We know it was in the lords plans,
so all we can do is raise our eyes and hands.
Thank you for taking him to your great place,
and putting your arms around him in a loving embrace.
All we can do is try to be strong,
knowing he is with jesus where he belongs.
And i'm happy that i got one last chance,
just eight days before he passed.
To tell him he was my youngest brother,
and that i loved him just like a mother.
These thoughts and memories i can only remember,
because in time i know we will be together.
