My Brother's Keeper
Rest now little brother do not make a fuss.
Learn to know you words and speak with a leveled mind.
This world will be harsh and will not change its ways.
If not now, please learn in time.
I know that you are lost, once I stood where you now stand.
Yes, father is gone. No, he will not return.
Listen now little brother, keep your attention fixed.
Soon, one day I must go but know that I will return.
For you my little brother, for you alone.
In my absence you must protect those we love.
Our sisters and our mother.
Hear me little brother, I don’t have much time.
The day will soon come when I must truly leave you behind.
And only then will I not return.
Rest now little brother dream a dream.
When you awake, I will be here.
Until the time comes that I shall watch from a distance.
For when you came into my life.
I vowed then and always to protect you.
