For Bruce ~ My Brother ~ My Stepson ~ My Friend

Why did you leave 
Tell me why did you go
Your mother's love for you it ran so deep
Was life so very tough you headed home

I know that God is there by your side
Tell him for me I know how hard your trial
You did your very best on this side
But the darkness got so strong, it took you hold for that final ride

I want you to know that I love you
I'll miss you until my day comes too
When God call's me too, I'll come straight to you
Smile and say "You're lookin' strong and true."

I know you didn't mean to go
I've been there too, I've been in the show
Where the crowd is good and the crowd is bad
Where the feelings mix, the mind is tricked for sad 

And you try with all your might to slay the beast
But the more you fight the strength of hell increased
Now your safe from harm, in your brother Jesus' arms                                                    Bruce Gilbert
And your duty here on earth has been released                                          My Brother ~ My Stepson ~ My Friend
                                                                                                                             January 22, 1980 ~ March 2, 2003 
So now I want to say before I close
Why He took you only heaven knows                                                       A Song Requested  By Bruce For His Best
One day we will all understand                                                                  Friend To Sing At His Funeral If He Should
More deeply the steps within His plan                                                      Happen To Die First ~ Unfortunately The
                                                                                                                     Boy Had To Sing It Much Too Soon:
I hope I never ever did you wrong
If so, I ask forgiveness in this song                                                                            "Waiting On An Angel"
And as I bring these words to an end                                                                                   Performed By
You'll always be my brother and always know me as your friend                                 Brett Martin Smith
