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


Real friends celebrate in who we are and have faith in all that we can become
Lots of Love
Rita

carol,

such a beautiful and heart-felt write!
you brought tears to my eyes, but that
is not a bad thing. this reminded me
of my Mom. She is up in those clouds
with your brother as well. Just remember
one thing--he's always with you, no matter
what! you got my vote hon, and take care.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

a vote and a bump..  

Carol, find peace in that you will be together one day, flying together.  God bless you.. I really enjoyed it.

A nice sad poem.  I like the content but I think the reversal of wording in order to get the rhyming to work makes this poem a little awkward.  However the poem still strikes with me, a man with a brother, though he hasn't died.
