Ghost Brother

I saw my dead brother yesterday

Ghostly pale like he was on display

I saw him, but he did not see me

He looked as peaceful as he could be

I asked him what it was like to be dead

These are the words that he said,

"My mind is calm; my heart is still

No more pain do I ever have to feel

No more tears will ever come to my eyes

All my suffering with me has died

Brother, I have comfort that I never felt alive

That is how I have been since I died."

I saw my dead brother yesterday

I hope to be able to join him right away
