I will watch over you
by
Nanuk
Don't turn your back on me, brother.
Don't you know how much I need you?
Don't you know I have always needed you?
In my dreams, in my sleep, and when
Thunder frightened me on rainy days?
Perhaps I haven't told you often, perhaps
I haven't told you often enough, stubborn, wonderful
brother of mine. Perhaps I didn't tell you
that I used to sneak into your room
At night, to look at you and know that
I was safe – because you were there,
Protecting me with your arms and body, willing to
wrap me in the soft folds of your soul
and keep me safe.
Don't turn your back on me, brother.
I know you want to
Grieve alone as you always did when we
Were too young to share the burden.
Go and grieve then – I am grown. Because
You let me. Grieve and I
Will watch over you.
I will watch over you,
Brother.
I will watch over
you.
