-Your Strength-
By sTr8-jAcKeT
There's never-ever enough time, to do the things we dream,
No matter
how long we all may live or stitch the longest seam.
I wish that
wishing made things true, I'd have my heart's content,
With all the
people that I love in a life so greatly spent.
Never would
there be a tear that's cast because of pain,
Never would the stars
above die in an astral rain.
We'd all have perfect picture frames,
that held everything we knew,
And when we stopped to miss someone,
the pages only grew.
There's so much that I want to say, but
even more I want to hear,
The sound of your sweet laughter, as to
ease this horrid fear.
That I am not a monster for the things that
I have done,
Or all the times I never called just to see what's new
& fun.
I may not know much of the world or religions that exist,
But I do believe you were a saint, that helped old hearts persist.
There's honor in the way you lived and more in how you passed,
And
forever in our gracious hearts, your memory will last.
Dear
Brother, there's so much to me, that makes you quite unique,
Like
how we caught so many fish, with a bottle in the creek.
And even
though, we'll meet again, I'll miss you now and then,
I'll need your
strength to carry on, in wiping tears from off this chin.

This is one of two pieces dedicated to my older brother who passed this last Xmas.Comments on "-Your Strength-"

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you very much for taking the time out to read this. There isn't a piece on here as powerful or holds such weight over my tears as this. Not yet, I've yet to do one for my dad. It will come one day. Thanks again.

This was an absolutely beauteous tribute. I know he'd be very proud of you. Although I don't know what sibling love is (as I'm an only child), this made me long for a brother or a sister. You two must have had a great time together and though he's gone for the time being, you at least have unforgettable memories no one will ever take away. And as you say, you'll surely meet again. Who now gives you the strength you need in blackest of times? I think his strength somehow lingers on.

Thank you brother, kinda sad reading that. Although that happens everytime I come here, regardless of who says what. But that was pretty heartfeld, thanks again.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I have lost peeps too, especially my nan who is the only person who ever loved and cared about me. It's such a hard thing and it never stops hurting. This is such a beautiful heart wrenching tribute, wherever your brother is (for I do believe there's "something" after death) I'm sure he is so proud of his brother for dedicating this excellent ink to him x
