| My brother Waking up one morning, the sun was shining bright. But little did I know, my day would turn to night. Everyone was happy, everything was fine, I didn't understand, where? when? Why? They rushed me there in a hurry. And my feelings were mixed up, and my thoughts all blurry. I walked in the room, and gloom filled the air. Everyone was crying, and alone I stood there. I walked to my mother and sat in her lap, she hugged me close, but she couldn't help it, she just collapsed. Her tears ran from her cheek like I'd never seen, and I just kept asking, "What does all this mean?" Ashley was hurt, but she'd be okay. Dad was alive, but in a lot of pain. Then I knew, without a word spoken, then I knew, and my heart was broken. My little brother was gone away. Sent to the angels, and with Jesus he would stay. But why not here with us? I asked God so many times, but he said he would take care of him, and to go on with my life. So when I start to miss him, I think of what he would say, " I'll see you all again Carrie and with Jesus we will stay." Written by Carrie Newton Return to Submitted Poetry |
