It wasn't time

Grief

The news came a bit before midnight,
my heart sank low, darkness in sight.
I couldn't believe it, not at all
It wasn't time to let you go.
I wandered the parking lot in the dark
two states away from family and friends at home.
I watched the news clip, Idaho 8 news
sitting here in the dark,
painful, surreal.
I didn't want to believe it
thought maybe it was a joke
you like to pull good ones over
but this time it was real.
I watched my dad who will turn 94 a few days from now
bury one of his sons, heart sick now
I watched my mom weep for the step son she loved so
I watched hundreds of people come, lots of love they all did show.
It wasn't time, and at times I cannot believe it even now.
I will never hear your laugh
or see your famous award winning smile.
You were a friend to many and touched so many lives
you were a super man, a true hero in this life
and your legend forever lives on......... but damn it I miss you and my heart is torn in two.

My profoundest condolences Michelle. I know so well how you feel. I lost my only brother too - he meant the world for me, and lost my best friernd after that.
Your poem is so beautiful and heartrending.
You did not lose your broter, although you don't see him. He is with the Lord and looks after you.
Thanks for sharing
Love and peace

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, Michelle. I am sorry that I have been away for so long that I havent been here for you when you needed me. Your poem is very beautiful and touching. Sounds like your brother was a wonderful man. But I have to agree with a previous comment that you havent lost your brother he's just not with you here on this earth but he is waiting for you in Heaven and watching over you.
If there is anything I can do please email me.
Your friend always
Rich |
