Analysis of Brother Beloved



Dear my beloved brother,
I miss you so much
And I wish you
Were here with me.
Dear my beloved brother,
It’s been a few months
Since I’ve seen your face
And my sorrow continues
To drag me down.
Dear my beloved brother,
I love you so much
And I’m waiting and longing
For the day
When you can finally
Come home.
Dear my beloved brother,
Your absence is
A hole in my heart
And I miss you
Too much to breathe.
Dear my beloved brother,
I hope that one day
I’ll be able to
See you again,
But for now,
My beloved brother,
I’ll love you
From a distance,
Far away from you,
Because we’re separated
Right Now.
