Oh! My Brother
You conquered my heart
Like a song in my head
It keeps repeating
Of what is missing
On that empty chair
Where you used to sit
Is full of memories
To treasure the best
The absence of my mother
To the distance of my father
You brought me love
During my thirst
But now you're gone
In heaven, you rest
In peace, I shall keep
The love you last uttered
For your children's wishes
The dreams you didn't reach
May the good Lord above
Would show them on their feet
Like my youth had travelled
To the road of your last breath
The wisdom you had taught
Now becomes mine to teach
