Poem for my brother

I hope that I am posting this in the correct place.

This is a poem I wrote when I lost my brother. I was having a very hard time dealing with this loss and writing has always seemed to help me heal. So, here it is......

My Brother The Angel

I kept trying to find an answer
I kept asking myself why
Jason had so much life to live
Why would he have to die?

At first I cried in sorrow
And then I just got mad
How dare you take my brother away
That’s all the time he had?

But then I thought about Jason
And I quit thinking about just me
And he helped me to find a peace
That without him I could not see

Because now he sits among angels
Who have him cradled in their wings
So now I wonder, does he play guitar
As the other angels sing?

Does he still enjoy the clouds?
Even from high above?
Is he able to dance within them?
Because we all know that is something he would love.

So although I still miss him
And the pain right now is deep
I understand he was our angel
We were never meant to keep.

That's a very beautiful tribute to your brother, and I'm sure that he is incredibly proud of you.

I lost my brother when I was 10. That was 20 years ago but, it still stings. We were very close, and it's an incredibly hard thing, to lose a sibling. If you ever need someone to talk to or you just need to vent to someone who will listen, you can shoot me a u2u.

((hugs))

That is beautiful. You made my day.

Hi hunny! That was perfect. Like the others said, a beautiful tribute!

I'm an only child and it's always been important to me that my 3 kids remain close, which they are.
I can only imagine the pain of losing a sibling.

*warm hugs* to you, and anyone else here who has suffered such a loss.

Your very Welcome Jess. Having been there, I can truly feel for You.
I don't like somethimes when people say, "It will get better." Cause that never really happens, for Me anyway. It may get easier to think about it, so in a way I s'pose it gets better, but...
Syx/Mike...

I can't believe I didn't see this when you first made the thread Jess!!!

What a beautiful and touching poem! When you lose someone close, they kind of leave a hole in your heart that no one else could ever fill. Hugs my dear friend!

Aww Jess I am so sorry for your loss.
I remember you speaking about him before but, like Night I had missed the poem.

Such a touching tribute.

I hope you've found some peace. He had a fantastic sister for the time he was here.
((hugs))

Thank you sweetie!! This was my pre-shed days which is probably why it was missed.

Hi,

I loved that poem. Sweet and with an amazing message. I'm so sorry you lost your brother, but your wisdom of imagining his perspective is wonderful. I am with you-- I do not belive our spirit ever dies.

Thanks for sharing!
