Dear Big Brother
You have turned out to be
Quite a young man
Helping others any time you can
I wished you could have helped me
But there was nothing you could have done
You see Big Brother
You didn’t know about me then
I was going to be mom’s second born son
Your little brother I would have been
We would have done
Many things together
Played ball, gone fishing,
Went barefoot in puddles
During the rainy weather
But not any of that
We got to do
Instead Mama just wanted
To focus on you
It is ok with me though
Because I am in heaven
I just wanted you to know
Today would have been my birthday
And I would have turned seven
Sometimes if you see Mama cry
Just know that I am the reason why
Please Big Brother
Give her a hug and let her know
I forgive her & still I love her so
