R.I.P.

My brother Nathan died in my mom. The doctors said he had a poor chance but he held on longer then expected and he almost made it…
I wish I would have died not you
You had a purpose
I didn’t
You were loved
I wasn’t
You brought sorrow with your death
I wouldn’t
You made my mom smile
I couldn’t
You were a surprise
I was abandoned
You brought joy and laughter to others
I could never
You were the baby he wanted
I wasn’t
You would grow up happy
I didn’t
You would have been a happy child
I never was
You would be a healthy kid
I’m not
Yep I seriously wish I would have died not you

For my brother Nathan
he held on as long as he could
even with a poor fighting chance
he saved my life
but lost is own
