At times I wonder if I told you how good of
a brother
you were to me or
just how much I needed you to share in my
joy and how
proud I was
of you
Did I ever tell you how much you helped me
when we
were growing
up sometimes I
wonder if you realized how very important
to me you
were
You were so dear to me at times it is still
hard for
me to deal With the fact
that you are
no longer here
Now today is your birthday I want to hug you one
more
time and tell you
I love you
Big brother I miss you so much
every day
I know in my heart the closeness we shared you
knew
You were so special to me the way I knew
I was special to
you
Even though we told each other often that
we loved
Each other when one is gone the one left
behind
Wishes for a chance to say I love
You and one last
hug

Some poems, make me fly…

When read, my soul grows, give me happiness.

I felt that life is so wonderful

That all life is filled with light.

And I can achieve the dream of love.

Full of love, not just dreaming…

But always see it,

Those who write them,

Like myself.

We wrote shortcomings,

Desires, nostalgia and dreams…

We are sentient beings,

Those who love touched us,

And perhaps made us poets,

As a means of survival,

As a way to escape the pain and the joy,

We knew that we could not transmit or otherwise.

But I do not much case,

Are just reflections of a poet, in one day fool.

Why is that:

Whoever had, withheld…

Who knew, knows…

Who knew giving and receiving,

Again know granting…

Who knew dream

Again dream…

And who knew love…

… Is and will be loved!…

Through this life there are times we all wonder
where God is
When you are seeing a loved one going through so much pain
You can feel a arm around your bent shoulders
from stress
It is God beside you holding you so you won't
fall
When hurt because of the lost of a loved one and the tears
are flowing
You feel something brush the tears from your eyes it is
Gods hand
When you think you have walked the last mile you can
in life
And you feel strong enough to walk again it is God lifting
you to your feet
There are so many times in my life I feel like I am so alone
Then I feel someone by my side I realize God is always
beside me

I sit wondering why with us you could
not stay
I know with us you would be if you had
your way
I have to believe you are so much better
off
That you are in heaven on clouds so
soft
Sometimes with you I so long
to be
When I get to heaven your face I
will see
For now you are happy with loved ones that
passed on before
All of you have wings and like a bird you
can soar
