Like sand sifting easily through fingers
like grains of my pain and my fear
Like the times that my broken heart clings to
like the sorrow of this past year.
Like my sons leaving me with no warning
like my two broken angels, they call
and they say "Please don't worry about us,
We are fine Mom, no worries at all!"
Five weeks apart you both left us
your 'big brother' took care of his own
He met you in Heaven, my Brady
he knew you could not be alone....
I know in my heart you're together
I feel it in all of my bones
And I know he is taking good care of
our youngest, though I'm sure he moans...
"Oh Brady! you shouldn't be joining
me in death, you are far too young yet
I made my decision to leave here
my fate had already been set.
If you thought you could easily find me
If you died just to be with me here
I must tell you I had to search far for
your soul, which to me, was so dear!
I wish I could send you back, Brother
I truly wish I only could
For our mother is grieving so deeply
at our graves she has so bravely stood...
But, I can't give you back to our Mother
I can't take back what you have done
But I promise to take care of you Bro
I have thought of you as my own son."
If we are together forever
our Mother will then come to see
That you are safe, crooked in my arm now
you are safe, Brady, here with me..."
