Analysis of Beloved Brother
Corina H. Ramirez 1964 (San Angelo)
I once had a brother
But now he's gone away,
He's now with my mother
And will forever stay.
Now you're gone from us
And went with God,
I can't take the bus
Nor use the rod.
Sorry are we
That are left behind,
Oh'' can't we see
That you were so kind.
Dear God please help me
Make it to heaven,
That I'd be able to see
My brother again.
