The long trip home....

Back from a drive today
To see my brother far away
Held his hand
Remembered a band

Give us love, give us hope, give us peace on earth
Give us joy, give us life, let us live our worth
Give us hope, help us cope, with this heavy load
Try to live, try to love, hold us in your soul

Why is life
Full of strife
Why can't we
Live and be

Give him love, give him hope, let him have peace on earth
Give him joy, give him life, let him live his worth
Give him hope, help him cope, with his heavy load
Let him live, let him love, hold him in your soul

Now I'm home
All alone
What I know
Such a blow

Give me love, give him hope, help me give him peace on earth
Give me joy, give him life, help me do his work
Give me hope, help him cope, with his heavy load
Help him live, let him love, keep him in your soul

Peace

Note....
Unfortunately my brother, friend, and best man was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, with only a few weeks left to live.  This is a follow up to the poem "Road Trip".  I write to help cope with life...
