I LOST MY TWO BROTHERS

I lost my two brothers, seems like yesterday,
For with this loss, bereavement continues to stay,
I could have never imagined, this would happen within ten days,
Even with knowing, we will all exit this earth someday.

I lost my two brothers, left me with such an unexpected impact,
Parting ways was the hardest for me, this is my fact,
Although it has been written, no more pain or sorrow,
Left me with heartbreak of missing them, many days after that tomorrow.

I am still so saddened, for my heart stills weighs, heavy past the abyss
Pain within my heart, still to this day exist,
I am realistic, so I must accept this in memory of them both,
I must get down on my knees for strength, and pray at the oath.

I lost my two brothers, the rain inside my heart continues flowing around,
No tears of joy yet, only to cry out to the Lord to help settle me down,
Sometimes, I think, when I think of them, I know their place is better,
For I also know I need to pull myself together.

For in the end of their lives on this earth, we will be together again,
No more rain, only sunshine and birds singing through the winds within,
I pray for mercy to help me to release this pressure on my heart
For losing my two brothers is one of life’s lessons learned from the start.

Rest in Peace Carl and Earl,
By way of my prayers,
I Just want you both to know,
Both of you my brothers, were all that and a bag of pearls.

God Almighty is One who knows,
My prayers oftentimes,
Give me the uplift I need, to continue to let you two go.
I know my brothers, while departing this earth we came to an end,
Knowing you were not just my two brothers, you were my best friends.
