To My Darling Loving Brother

Hittade en dikt som vi lika gärna kunde ha skrivit. Bytte bara namnet...

We stood by your bed side

all holding hands full of tears

We held your hands

and stroked your hair

watching you just lay there

without a smile or a laugh in sight

this was to be your last fight

We all talked about your good times

for us they will never fade

we wanted you to feel the love

as we did love you more each day

We watched your every breath

and prayed it wasn't the last

the time we got to share together

went by too quick ... far to fast

we wanted you to wake up

please Jonas not your last

tell me its a nightmare

and not our last good byes

As your last breath drew closers

our hearts were sinking deeper

we were there by your side

holding hands

full of tears

this was our last good nights

then there it was

your final breath of air

I did not want to believe it

this was not fair

we held your hands

and were praying again

we were not ready

we did not want this

we had to understand you were now at rest

up high in the sky shining your best

with no more suffering any more

you were starting the life of the brightest star

we held your hands and squeezed you tight

it was time for us to say good night

All our hearts could do was cry

we will miss you michael so so much

we got up slowly

still praying it was not true

but one by one we leaned over you

tears streaming down our face

we kissed you and had to walk away

saying our final good nights

was the hardest thing ever in sight

but this was the time to say

Jonas our dear brother good night

sleep tight we love you

always and forever in our hearts

always and forever we love you so much

sleep tight now our precious brother

you will be missed more than ever

your loving warm smile and cheeky little laugh

we remain with us and be a part of our lives

shine brightly every night

good night god bless

your will always be the best
