Good-bye’s are so hard to say
When our loved ones go away
Better off we know they are
Now with God beyond the stars
When they leave and don’t take us
It’s selfishness that makes a fuss
What will we do without them here
We moan and groan and shed a tear
My big brother’s name is Wayne
Into God’s presents he did gain
Was the first of twelve to go
Hasn’t been that long ago
Yes I miss him it is true
Yes sometimes I’m very blue
I could never wish him back
Hope to follow in his tracks
His job on earth now all through
So into heaven his spirit flew
No more pain or sorrow - see
I hold him now in memory
A big man we called him bear
Loved his hugs I tell you dear
I thank God with all my heart
For in Wayne’s life I had a part
Good-byes are just so hard to say
When our loved ones go away
This is something God gave me
Say, ”See you soon in eternity”

Be careful not to put apostrophes in plural words (as in your first line), and I think you meant "presence" instead of "presents".
This doesn't seem to go along with the topic of "home groups," but it's definitely a sweet poem of tribute to your brother.
