Missing My Brother

For Thomas *today is a melancholy day* *so many memories* *moving in my mind* *competing for more space* *in my sorrowful heart* *they stretch back a lifetime* *to catching lightening bugs* *to giggles and ghost stories* *told on southern nights* *on the front porch swing* *missing you and wishing for* *just one more day with you* *eating old memories together* *like slices of chocolate pie* *so many memories, so much love* *to the world you were my cousin* *to me, the only brother I had* *you carried your growing pain* *with such dignity and joy of life* *you've ascended beyond pain* *yet you're still here in my heart* *where you are eternally surrounded* *with gratitude and love* *and the hope of more time* *together, sweet time* *never ending laughter shared* *by hearts ancient yet young*

I ENJOYED THIS BECAUSE...I GREW UP AS AN ONLY CHILD. AND I HAVE NEVER WISHED FOR A SISTER, HOWEVER...I USED TO WISH FOR A BROTHER. GOD SMILED ON YOU, FOR...EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT AS LONG AS YOU WANTED IT TO BE...AT LEAST YOU HAVE THOSE GOOD MEMORIES OF YOU AND HIM TO CHERISH AND HOLD DEAR. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

My dear La Bell I fully understand how you feel about your cousin as you were both very close. This was a beautiful poem. I feel the same about my cousin Fee and it is still hard for me to accept that he is gone and I will never again see or talk to him, we had become so close over the years. Thank you for sharing.

My gosh, I can feel your pain. I recently lost a brother yet sadly I felt a sense of freedom.

But this kind of pain is an insanely painful hurt that never leaves and nor should it, it means you loved and the cost of loving is a price worth paying. It is a clean hurt.

As per u, beautifully written tribute written with such depth of grace. x
