A Brother's Love
I haven't seen your face, and it leaves me in despair.
As I look at your pictures carefully, with a dull, blank stare.
It's been so long, too long since you left our mother and sister;
The pain of you leaving rocked their world like an incoming twister.
Some pieces are still scattered after the storm with questions of what next?
Not knowing in 1998 a surprise would happen, Mom would least expect.
I was born a light came into Mother's eyes,
As she tells me I was a shadow of you like you were by my side.
Growing up as the youngest was tough without you there;
Having an older brother's love is something you can't compare.
I hear your voice speak into me as I grew up into a young man,
Telling me you were proud and continue to be the best that I can.
I cry on those lonely nights when it's me myself and I,
Wondering and thinking what it would be if you were still alive.
You are a part of me your spirit will never die;
The brotherhood we STILL have will continue to strive.
Marlo and Kam the dynamic duo is what I see,
Being my brother's keeper will always hold dear to me.

This elegy is dedicated to my brother who I've never seen in person, but whom I met spiritually. Rest in peace brother.
