Brother Away In The Army

I'm 16, and I miss my brother. He joined the army, and it's really tough. I have 6 other siblings, but he's the only one I'm closest to. He's the only one I can really trust. I love him. He's my hero.

I'm Missing You Big Brother

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2017 with permission of the Author.

I don't know where to begin.
The feeling I feel each passing day...
Some days I laugh, some days I cry
because things are not the same...
I need my big brother here, right by my side.
I need him to hold me close and tell me it's all right.
I need my big brother here to talk to
because not everyone will listen, but you always do.
I need my big brother, but he's gone away.
Each night before bed I sit on my knees to pray.
I pray that God will keep him safe
and that he finds someone to hold him with a warm embrace.
I pray that every day he smiles from ear to ear.
And when I say "Amen," I begin to shed a tear.
Bobby, I know what you're doin' is right,
How you'll be fighting for everyone's rights.
Oh, how I wish you were home.
Then maybe home wouldn't be so lonesome.
Because I need my big brother here, right by my side.
Though you're far away, I know everything's gonna be okay.
