My brother died 25 years ago,.it was a very difficult time and I wrote this for my brother and his family.
What would say if he were
What would he say if he were here?
Please don't look so sad
Please don't shed those tears.
I know you'll miss me
I know you can't se
The good in times as sad as these.
Remember the happiness we shared
The time we showed each other
We cared.
Remember the fun in life I had
The canmpiing, the fishing
And being a dad
Please let my death be like the rain,
Cleanse your soul
Let go of the pain.
Look to mountains
Look to the sea,
In the freedom of an eagle
Remember Me.
As you can see I will never make a run as a poet,but that wasn't my goal, I just wanted to let everyone know just how special he was to me. He was 14 months younger then me. He spent a lot of his time in the army. Died of colon cancer at 38. He had 2 children Missy and Jeremy. Jeremy has a son that freq enjoys camping and fishing. To see jeremy and his son fishing reminds of the time,Joe took jeremy fishig. My brother was not as much involved with jeremy as jeremy is with his son. I was very close to Joe and even after all these years I miss him a lot. I spent a lot with him fishing in the summer. I was very blessed to have him as my brother.

I lost my brother 40 years ago this December in a tragic motorcycle accident.....he was 16.
It was such a horrible thing to go through and I miss him dearly.....but think of him fondly often. I talk with his friends and others who knew him and it is always a positive.
My brother did not have children......but I can see some things such as looks or certain mannerisms in my own children that remind me of my brother.
I just met with a friend of my brothers last month......hadn't seen this guy in about 30 years.......he told me some of the funniest stories of my brother.....we just laughed and had a great time sharing and remembering him.....and I know my brother was laughing too :)
I use to write poetry about my brother when he first died.....it helped release my pain for awhile as I had no place to turn at the time....there was not the counseling available at the time that there is now.....so I kept a lot inside and had a breakdown 15 years after his death.
I also have a little notebook with my poems and pictures of him. I also had a professional picture collage of him made in celebrating his 25th anniversary and gave copies to my parents and a few of his close friends.
My brother was and still is a very special person to me and so many others. He was one merit badge away from being an Eagle Scout which was awarded to him posthumously at his funeral. He was an avid camper and true humanitarian and lived a life that was probably more fulfilling than most 80 or 90 year olds. Over 2,000 people attended his funeral from all over the country. It was one of the biggest funerals in our town for someone who was only 16. I never knew a 16 year old could know that many people....but my brother did.
Well.....enough of my rambling. Just wanted share my special brother becuz I feel celebrating them is so important and helps with the healing too.
Take care and your poem is just beautiful....becuz it is from the heart about someone so special :)
