For my brother. He had cerebral palsy. He's been gone for almost a year now
You Meant So Much

Mark
from the moment you were born
you knew it was going to be a rough road
you never stopped fighting
you never gave up
you never got to walk
or even got to talk
but i'm sure if you did
you would never stop
why did u have to have this disease
where all your could do is lay there
for when i was growing up
all i wanted was for us to play
over the years of your life
youve had to battle sickness
every year you went the the hospital
and it drained so much out
mom and dad did all they could
and i hope you know that
but with your condition
they couldn't do much
i wish though i could take back time
go back the day you died
so i could of been with you
i'm sorry i wasnt there
i was at a friends house
and when dad went looking for me
i wasnt there
it was my fault dad and Matt couldn't say goodbye
and for that i'm truly sorry
because now i feel so bad
so i feel like dying
but for your sake i keep fighting
because you showed be how to be strong
and i dont want to disappoint you
so i'll keep on going
you knew it was going to be a rough road
you never stopped fighting
you never gave up
you never got to walk
or even got to talk
but i'm sure if you did
you would never stop
why did u have to have this disease
where all your could do is lay there
for when i was growing up
all i wanted was for us to play
over the years of your life
youve had to battle sickness
every year you went the the hospital
and it drained so much out
mom and dad did all they could
and i hope you know that
but with your condition
they couldn't do much
i wish though i could take back time
go back the day you died
so i could of been with you
i'm sorry i wasnt there
i was at a friends house
and when dad went looking for me
i wasnt there
it was my fault dad and Matt couldn't say goodbye
and for that i'm truly sorry
because now i feel so bad
so i feel like dying
but for your sake i keep fighting
because you showed be how to be strong
and i dont want to disappoint you
so i'll keep on going
