Sylvia, Sister

As kids, we lived together. We fought, we laughed, we cried. We did not always show the love that we both had inside. We shared our dreams and plans, and some secrets too. All the memories we share, is what bonds me now to you. We grew to find we have a love that is very strong today. It’s a love shared by our family, that will never fade away. You are my brother not by choice, but by the nature of our birth I could not have chosen a better one. You were the best on earth. I wish you sweet sleep, my brother dear. Although there’s so much that you’ve left bare. I hate that you had to endure such pain. On my mind, your saddened eyes have left a stain. But I have hope that those sleeping will rise. The Bible says that God will open their eyes. No suffering, sickness, yes not even pain. Those who did good, eternal life they’ll gain. So... sleep on my brother, sleep tight, for now with you the sky is night. But after night will come daybreak. Therefore, I will wait hoping to see you awake.
