He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother....

The road is long

With many a winding turns

That leads us to who knows where

Who knows where

But I'm strong

Strong enough to carry him

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go

His welfare is of my concern

No burden is he to bear

We'll get there

For I know

He would not encumber me

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all

I'm laden with sadness

That everyone's heart

Isn't filled with the gladness

Of love for one another

It's a long, long road

From which there is no return

While we're on the way to there

Why not share

And the load

Doesn't weigh me down at all

He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Eight years today since you left us and I miss you

more than I can say

Your nephew is sitting at my feet

as I write this

and it breaks my heart he will never

be swung over your head or hold your hand

or play with his Uncle Patrick

I named him after you Oisín Patrick

please be his Guardian Angel and

watch over him

I love you always

RIP
