A Tribute to My Late Brother

With a broken heart I say to you
You will remain with me in spirit in whatever I do
I wish that I had the chance to say goodbye
But I hope that your soul is floating in the heavenly sky
To protect and guide me
To open my eyes and let me see
That life is too short
Holding grudges and bad feelings we should abort
We must extend our hand to those we love
Knowing that saying sorry is tough
But it will open hearts for forgiveness
And clear from our lives sadness
I hope that you will hear me calling your name
Saying that without you, life will never be the same
We didn’t often connect but I always loved you
Regardless of what you had to do
Please, forgive me if I ever hurt your feeling
While with trivial issues we were dealing

My brother lives in North Carolina. I haven't talked to him in many years. The last time I saw him was around 2011 at a nephew's wedding reception.doh chicken

Life is short - never forget to say Love You when saying goodbye as it may be your last chance. I'm sure your brother knew you loved him and pray he is looking down on you now and smiling.

My brother passed away last April 2018, I promise I will make a business for his kids that he dream on. May he ask God in heaven to protect me, guide me and bless me.
