The leaves drift and blow away
As the November wind moves and calms my soul
Wiping my tears from my face
Drying them, leaving only a very faint trace
My heart is broken in two
He's six feey under, but he was only five years young
And I stand here, delivering this poem to you
This strong, almost violent, wind has a calming effect on my soul
It is expressing the turbulence I feel inside
Emotions I do not want to deny
Emotions I do not want to deny
I loved him, I loved him so, I still do
And I am bitter that he is gone
He was a bit of my sunshine
So sweet, smart, pure
It is better that he left this world untainted
And never felt the emotions that I feel now, that I have felt so often in some way
So we stand here now
To make our love known, and pay our respects
To say our official goodbyes,
And acknowledge that he's left for a better place
My little brother's flown away
With angels
To a place where there are no dark corners
And only friendly dragons in the forests
ease me now
