Brother, I yearn to hold you in my arms again.
Empty arms ache for an embrace.
Five years ago Satan in your life had his final win.
Lonely future without you I have to continually face.
Memories flood back of that last hug and kiss on
the day I rue.
The moment you told me my last goodbye.
One hour and half later you murdered your wife and self.
My heart continually asks the question, "Brother Why?"
Many excuses were given, she said like me with
cancer couldn't cope.
This puzzled sister grieves for her only brother, forever lost.
Brother, I know that you are faraway, no reunion to hope.
Deep hurt you took an innocent life, was it worth our family's
cost?
Sitting here weeping, I can only express the deep
sorrow, I feel inside.
Also anger how could you do this to me?
Only a coward would take his life, forever hide.
All the pain you left for the family.
It seemed so easy for you to end it all.
Taking an innocent victims losing security.
Now I have to live without my brother, eternity's gavel fall.
A sad fact is you betrayed God'a love, forever altering all
family's reality.
