Oh,
Howard
My
young
brother
Why
so
soon?
You
left
like
a
shadow,
vanishing
in
the
night
No
warning,
no
struggle,
just
fading
from
sight
I
look
at
your
chair,
it
sits
empty
and
cold
A
story
cut
short,
before
it
was
told
They
look
for
their
father,
the
kids
ask
me
why
I
have
no
answers,
just
tears
in
my
eye
I
tell
them
you're
sleeping,
I
tell
them
it's
fine
But
the
silence
is
screaming
inside
of
my
mind
Oh,
Howard,
my
brother,
my
heart's
in
a
cage
A
life
ripped
away
from
the
center
of
the
page
You
didn't
say
goodbye,
you
didn't
even
try
Just
left
us
all
broken
to
wonder
and
cry
I
miss
you,
I
miss
you,
it’
s
tearing
me
down
The
heaviest
silence
in
this
lonely
town
The
stewards
are
weary,
they’
re
searching
for
you
Looking
for
dad
in
the
morning
dew
But
the
path
is
so
empty,
the
grass
has
grown
tall
And
I’
m
standing
here
waiting
for
your
silent
call
The
one
who
has
taken
you,
what
did
they
gain?
They’
ve
left
us
a
lifetime
of
shadows
and
pain
It’
s
cruel
and
it’
s
bitter,
it’
s
hard
to
believe
That
a
soul
like
yours
had
to
stand
up
and
leave
Oh,
Howard,
my
brother,
my
heart's
in
a
cage
A
life
ripped
away
from
the
center
of
the
page
You
didn't
say
goodbye,
you
didn't
even
try
Just
left
us
all
broken
to
wonder
and
cry
I
miss
you,
I
miss
you,
it’
s
tearing
me
down
The
heaviest
silence
in
this
lonely
town
But
I
hold
to
the
promise,
the
faith
that
I
keep
That
God
knows
the
ones
who
are
lying
in
sleep
When
the
morning
awakens
and
calls
out
the
dead
I’
ll
see
you
again,
just
like
he
has
said
Until
that
day
comes,
I
will
carry
your
light
Even
through
the
darkness,
even
through
the
night
Oh,
Howard,
my
brother,
my
heart's
in
a
cage
A
life
ripped
away
from
the
center
of
the
page
You
didn't
say
goodbye,
you
didn't
even
try
Just
left
us
all
broken
to
wonder
and
cry
I
miss
you,
I
miss
you,
it’
s
tearing
me
down
The
heaviest
silence
in
this
lonely
town
I
really
miss
you,
my
young
brother
Rest
in
peace,
Howard
Until
we
meet
again (
