For You, Joey Dear, I Cry

This is for my Joey.
My baby brother in Heaven.
God rest his beautiful soul.
As I lay in my bed,
I think of you and the way you were here.
And now your gone,
You were so young and so dear.
And for you little one, I shed a tear.
I miss you so, and when you went,
I know the Lord never meant,
For us to cry as much as we do.
You changed so many of our lives,
Your nurses, your doctors, your family, and I.
We all know now, that life is short,
We never know what will happen next.
When you were brought into this world,
As a darling little baby boy,
We name you and cared for you,
We loved you so much.
And then the Lord wanted you so,
He took you away,
Not too fast, but not too slow,
For we only had you for one short year.
But that year was dear,
As dear as they come.
Why?
Because we had you little one.
And now as one year slowly passed,
As your birthday draws near.
I've missed you so much throughout this past year.
And we need you, Joey, and so does this world.
We need another baby boy like you,
For our new baby brother is nothing like you.
He is sweet, but her needs you, as much as I.
And for you, Joey dear, I cry and I cry.
Remember me always, as I will for you.
And soon, Joey dear, I will find you.
And we'll be together again,
Just like before.
I miss you my brother,
My darling, sweet, baby boy.
