When I think of you brother,
I think about how much I love you.
You were easy to love with your gentle spirit.
I talked to you on the phone.
I told you I was coming to visit you.
If only I could have seen you one last time
before you had to go.
I know you are not in any pain or suffering.
I just don't know how to say goodbye, George.
I still think I will call you and you will say,
"Why don't you move down here in the country?"
"The air is clean and it is so quiet away from the city."
when I think of you brother,
I just don't know how to say goodbye, George.
you were full of teasing
and always made me laugh.
I will miss you brother
I don't know how to say goodbye, George
I just don't know how.
See you later.
goodbye George.

Post a CommentI'm sorry about the loss of your brother. He would love this poem..:)
How sad for you to have lost your brother. I have only one sibling, my sister Linda who is my rock and strength, she is my best friend, I would not know what to do if I lost her! My deepest condolences, Yvonne!
So sorry about your loss! I know how you feel about your brother. I have two, one ten years older than me and one 12 years younger. My older brother raised me, for all intents and purposes. He likes a lot being perfect, but even today, with us both old, he has never said an unkind word to me. I know I'll lose him before long and it will be so hard.
My prayers are with you.
I am so sorry Yvonne. Sounds like you have had alot of pain in your life. My hope is that you can feel the peace and comfort of Jesus and that you have others who can supprt you.Thinking of you.
With Love, Cindy
