Brother of Mine

This collage was inspired by the song Brother of Mine written by Paula Jones. Paula has been gracious to allow me to use her words to pay tribute at the Wall many times. I just wish you could hear her sing this!

Brother of Mine
It was a cold fall day, to visit you
I didn’t call ahead, no need to.
I come with pictures, flowers,
my mission and quest.
The book says your home is 15 west.
Brother of mine, I miss you so.
Reflections of your name;
I’m all grown up now, you look the same.
It’s been years without you, do cuts always heal?
If I could only tell you how I feel.
Brother of mine, I miss you so.
I feel your touch, is that you on the other side?
I touch your name, is that you calling mine?
Sometimes it seems like you’re just standing there;
looking at me, looking at you.
It was a cold fall day to visit you;
Darkness takes the sky, way too soon.
I’ll be back one day, someday , I’ll never forget!
How your hands touched mine, and spirits met.
Brother of mine, I miss you so.
I feel your touch is that you on the other side?
I touch your name, is that you calling mine?
Will I ever know why you had to go?
Brother of mine, I miss you so.
