Walked up to my brother’s casket
“Shine on You. Crazy Diamond” ???? in the background
You reached for the secret too soon
That’s just what my brother did
Gone at 44, pretty healthy other than the cancer
For most of those 8 years
Right before his wedding day
Yet he still got to see his beautiful bride in her veil
And then Big Jack welcomed him home
Finally facing the moment I had dreaded so long
That I assumed would be the end of my sanity
Instead I see from the balcony a bunny frolicking
and a cardinal flew down to greet him
My brother and my mother
Too
