It's almost time to say goodbye
There is a job that must be done
Fear drones quietly in the background
Little bits of dread taint each sunrise
Tiny shards of bravery are found here and there
Still nothing quells the sick feeling
Someone stop the hands of time...
I cannot stand to watch him go
Big brother I need you,
A monster still lingers
No not in the closet
But in the shadows,
Most call it uncertainty
It howls in the moonlight
It will not tell me if I can have you back
Tears keep falling
How do I make them stop?
Big brother I'm lost, please hold my hand
Tell them you cannot go, somehow make them understand
Poetic lullabies no longer play
That warm fuzzy feeling has gone away
Yes, I know we must be brave
Big brother this time I cannot be
You will be in every thought and prayer
Letters will be sent every day
Big brother please be careful
I need you to come home
You are forever my hero
