Andrew's Letter
For Andrew Borem, my big brother
(verse 1)
This song is for you
And for everything I didn't think you'd mean to me
What am I gonna do
Now you're gone and it looks like I have to be strong
Something I thought was trivial
Gave me something real
I guess I understand
But I'm not sure how I feel
(chorus)
This song is my letter to you
And I hope it means something wonderful
Whatever you're going through
I'm praying for you
And God will help you on your way
(verse 2)
I can't wait to see
What God does with you, more beautiful things that you do
Please don't forget me
I didn't do many things but remember me through this song I sing
You don't know how you've blessed me
Through the things you'd say
For every tear I've cried for you
I know you'll be okay
(chorus)
(bridge)
And somehow living will be different without you
But I trust in God to pull me through
And somehow I'm gonna be different without you
But I trust you miss me, too
(chorus 2x)
***HACK IT APART PLEASE!!!***
Answer:
I'm sorry Mara, I couldn't read it. My eyes were clouded with tears.

I almost couldn't write it for the same reason.
Answer:
Hack it apart? Mara, why would anyone want to hack it apart? It's wonderful. I'm crying now.
What an awesome first trip into the Songwriting forum...

Great. I made everyone cry. I'm not sure what to think of that.
Answer:
Does anyone feel like critiquing it, or is it's sheer perfection just too much for you guys?
