Grief Comes and It Goes

Grief Comes and It Goes This Year without you has flown by My Heart has missed you I miss your laughter and your smile The way you talked with your hands How you were my brother and my friend Grief comes and it goes Your birthday is almost here Just 3 short days after Christmas every year You'd just shrug off the forgotten presents The here's your birthday and christmas gifts You took it all in stride and never made a big deal out of being born so close to yuletide Grief comes and it goes One day is normal and the next its not I hear Momma I'm coming Home on the Radio and I cry Why can my breathe be taken away in less than a second? It's been 26 years since Mom died and I never forget So I know I have years ahead of me left ahead to greive Grief comes and it goes My Heart hurts every moment that you're gone We had a childhood of memories to build a love upon You bought me my first car, a tank to keep me safe You fought my bullies at school, because no one picked on your sister, but you Oh, Brother John, I love you, then, now, and forever!
