Brother, I Have Faith You Will Not Die

by ErIcKa   Oct 23, 2005


I really need him
in times like this
to protect me from boys
and my first kiss

I need him to guide the way
in my life
for him to understand
that things are going to be O.K.
but it's a long hike

He needs to be here
to help me deal with heartbreak
and to track down
the scummy boy who broke it

I need him to be at my wedding
and embarrass me until i cry
I need him to be here as long as he can
i have faith, he will NOT die

He is going to live his life
like tomorrow's his last day
he will sleep all night long
while I lay in bed and pray

He will wake up in the morning
and be as healthy as he can
he will be a good father, husband
but mainly a good man

He will never back down
and he will fight this sickness
until it's gone

Today is not the start of this disease
he is strong, he is tough
and he will never back off

So, be ready world
because he will be successful
in all that he does
and he will do that without fear

He is my brother
my hero
and my leader
