Thoughts come to mind
not everyday, but enough
that my thoughts of the past
of a brother gone from me,
a brother who chose to be lost
living in his own private world
This is his right and choice, but
This is his right and choice, but
pain from within my soul remains,
pain of anger and confusion as
to
why life dealt us the hand of
departure,
my memories come again as I remember
moments when my big brother
was there
I shall contain fondness in my heart and
I shall contain fondness in my heart and
remember him, for nothing in this
world can take
my memories of the good that we
shared as children
from me, love that rids the pain of
hell we endured,
my sisterly vision sees him within
my mind with love
that remains in my heart for my
brother - Bobby

Dear Rhoda,
ReplyDeleteWhat a heartfelt poem. The emotion flows through your words. Losing someone we love no matter what the circumstances is hard. Glad you are remembering the good times. Well done my friend.
Love,
Karen

ReplyDeleteThank you Maurice - difficult for me to post this one - but it is a tribute to my 'big brother' of whom I haven't seen since 1971. It is a shame...rg
