Dear little brother
If I could change the hands of time
And carry you back to those days
In the endless sun that we shared
Laughter, life, love and tender youth
You know I would
If I could wash away your tears
And hold you forever so tight
That I too can taste bitter salt
As they fill your gentle blue eyes
You know I would
If I could chase away shadows
And banish those demons that hide
In the deep corners of your mind
If only I could keep you safe
You know I would
If I could cause all this pain to fade
And replace your deepest worries
Of long ago regrets, with thoughts
Of tenderness and forgiveness
You know I would
If I could walk this path with you
And place your hand in God's myself
As you take your place in heaven
Forever, dreaming of His love
You know I would
