The loss of a loved one

Sometimes i sit and think about why i never knew you.
probably because Dad couldn't tell me about that day,
probably because Dad just didn't want to say.
But when I looked down at that stone,
my cheeks started to burn.
a tear fell down my eye,
seconds later I started to cry.
I looked at Dad in hatred and anger,
but suddenly stopped because i couldn't cause danger.
I asked Dad why he kept it a secret for nine years,
but all i got out of him were tears.
I wish you were here in my sight,
we could play games and have little play fights.
Just remember that all of your siblings love you,Isaiah, Taylor, Jesse, and me too.
But for now little bro, just hang tight,
because everyday I'm a day closer to having you in sight.
