big brother

good son

life decided before it's begun

hunting till death and though we die many times

each time we take our last breath we make sure to say our goodbyes

from family of four to family of three

and then one day it was just you and me

looking back then I wonder

if we found more than we lost

mom and dad

ellen and jo

bobby and kevin

how far does it go

charlie our little sister

and

adam little brother

though we gain many family members we often lost one another

as I lie here not sleeping

I ask myself

wouldn't it be better to be lost

to heaven or hell?
