I walked in your room today
It smelled like flowers
It's where you and I would sit
And talk for hours
In your room
In your room
I went to church today
To say goodbye to you
I found myself laughing
and cryin' with you
In your room
In your room
Everything is still the same
Every picture will remain
In your room
In your room
I sit in your room these days
And still I talk to you
Even though Heavens called
I feel it's still you
In your Room
In your Room
Everything I hold and touch
Oh my God I miss you so much
In your room
In your room
I walked in your room today
It smelled like flowers

I wrote this song a couple of weeks ago. I won a bid on a acoustic Fender guitar, that was autographed by country singer and musician Marty Stuart. The silent auction was for St Judes Childrens Hospital, so it did my soul good to give money for something I would get so much pleasure from, and at the same time helping these babies that are so sick.
The day I picked up the guitar, I went home that evening and went straight to my brother's room, I wanted John to see the guitar, because we both love to play. I sat on the couch with that guitar and wrote this song in about 20 minutes. I wrote the words on a envelope I found in his room. It just kinda flowed right out of me.
For the last 2 weeks I have gone in my brother's room and played that song for him, hoping, wishing, praying that he can hear me and know just what he means to me.
I miss my brother today. It's the first Super Bowl in my 40 years I've spent without him and it has not been easy.
Today I will go see him, sit down with that beautiful guitar and play this new little tune I wrote and watch the Super Bowl. I will scream at the tv, I will laugh at the stupid plays and I will remember my brother today, in his room.
Go Steelers,
Joe
