My Brother...Why?

He was given
In the womb
To be given away again
She was young
Not fair.... She didn't get to keep him

He was brought
To a brand new home
Given lots of love
He grew older
Felt rejected
By someone he didn't know

He looked for answers
In God's word
But couldn't to find his way
Drugs and alcohol
Became his family
Awful and mean
He was stricken

Till they took his life
My brother he was
Why did it have to be him?

I never said
Just the right words
I'm sorry, I feel
He didn't know
I loved him...

In memory of Steve Mack 12/24/66 - 8/7/95

Cindi, it is so hard to read this, but I appreciate that you have shared this, as it may mean that a few will pick up the phone to call their loved ones...

and you're in my prayers...

Sometimes we never know why and I hope that doesn't sound trite, you have my deep thoughts and prayers and comfort during this time.

He knew Cindi, I'm sure of it. Sad but lovely sentiments.
