my best friend my brother <br /> <br />I only ever wanted you to see tomorrow <br />I only ever wanted to take away your pain, <br />I remember the days we used to be there laughing <br />I wish we could’ve gone out playing in the pleasant rain, <br /> <br />I only ever wanted to ease your pain <br />I only wanted to ease your suffering and remove the strain <br />I only ever wanted to ease your pain <br />Ease your pain, yes, ease your pain <br /> <br />I always felt like your weaker older brother <br />A helpless loving best friend, <br />But I could never steal you from your endless pain <br />It’s painful now that our brotherhood had too end <br /> <br />My brother I know, times are a changing, changing, changing, <br />I know it’s time to reach out for something new <br />And I know this means you too, <br />But it’s not what I want to do <br /> <br />The time came where it was the essence for you to close your eyes <br />I didn’t want it but I know you needed it, my best friend <br />It’s time to ease your pain <br />I always felt like your weaker brother <br />A helpless loving best friend, <br /> <br />I only wanted to see you playing <br />I only wanted to see you laughing <br />But time has seen fit to end <br />My little soldier my best friend <br /> <br />I only ever wanted to ease your pain <br />I only wanted to ease you suffering and remove the strain <br />I only ever wanted to ease your pain <br />Ease your pain, yes, ease your pain <br /> <br />I always felt like your weaker brother <br />A helpless loving best friend, <br />But I could never steal you from your endless pain <br />It’s painful now that our brotherhood had too end <br /> <br />I miss you, forever ill miss you <br />But now the end has come for your pain, and through cloudy gates in the sky <br />I see my best friend my brother <br /> Fly away to escape the pain<br /><br />Daniel Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-best-friend-my-brother-rest-in-peace-little-boy/
