David

I still check the mailbox, hoping I might see

A random little drawing that you mailed across to me

You were amazingly talented, sketching out your mind

The smartest and most patient soul that anyone could find

Now Sunday mornings roll around, the quiet fills the room

I miss the way your sudden laugh could chase away the gloom

David, you said to begin with a loving heart

Not to sweat the little things when the shadows start

To always be the best you can, there's enough hate in this world

I'm holding to the beauty that your selfless life unfurled

I miss your warmth, big brother, and the way you used to care

I keep your memory with me everywhere

You were generous with your time, so gentle and so wise

You saw a better version of this life through artist's eyes

I miss our weekend telephone calls, the hours we would spend

Wrapped up in that big brother love I thought would never end

I miss the comfort of your voice, the way you understood

You always tried to guide me toward the good

David, you said to begin with a loving heart

Not to sweat the little things when the shadows start

To always be the best you can, there's enough hate in this world

I'm holding to the beauty that your selfless life unfurled

I miss your warmth, big brother, and the way you used to care

I keep your memory with me everywhere

I am so sorry that this heavy world was just too much for you

I hold you in my heart, and all the brilliant things you drew

But when we meet again someday, the sadness will be gone

We'll pick up where we left off when a brighter morning dawns

I love you, my big brother, I miss you so much now

I'll live the way you taught me, this I vow

To always begin the day with a loving heart

Not to sweat the little things when the shadows start

To always be the best I can, there's enough hate in this world

I'm holding to the beauty that your selfless life unfurled

I miss your warmth, big brother, and the way you used to care

No more sadness, David, I'll see you there
