A Poem For My Brother

I wear a mask every day

Just to hide my hurt away.

No one knows what I’m feeling;

No one knows the pain I’m conceiving;

I’m trying to heal.

But I can’t believe he won’t be there

When I look out the door.

I won’t be able to see you any more

Because you’ve gone away.

Although I loved you dearly,

I could not make you stay.

With tearful eyes and a caring heart,

I watched you fade away.

I still ask myself why did you have to go away.

Why did you have to leave me?

How in this world can I make it on my own?

I’ll do the best I can.

I guess its all part of the master’s plan.

I can’t let anyone know,

But I feel like I’m drowning in my sorrow.

I wonder if we’ll meet again,

Or have I lost my best friend.

I could search my whole life through,

And never find a friend like you.

I have to go on;

I have to try.

As long as you’re in my heart,

I know you will never part.

We will be together again-one sweet day.

A Poem For Corey

You were the one who made us smile;

You were the one who made us laugh.

You were your family’s sunshine,

But God saw you were getting tired

And no cure was to be,

So he put his arms around you

And whispered come to me.

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

Your golden heart has stopped beating,

And your hard working hands are at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

That he knows what is best.

A Poem For Alberta
