It was all over too soon

When you were born
I saw a rival
But your chubby face
Made me dance with joy
Each day was fun
Every moment a lively one
The sharing, caring, pranks and play
I didn’t know it would all go away
Dear Brother you left too soon
But our story goes on
I feel your presence
The cycle pedals on
The monopoly game goes on
The dinner table still holds your plate
Your laughter still rings everywhere
I cried my heart out
But you consoled me with your smile
The portrait on the wall
Filled with life
I miss you
Yet you are there
In every moment of my life
I breathe underwater
For I have to live
But each passing day
Brings me closer to you
