For those not on my FB, I'm going to re-post this poem I wrote tonight and posted there.
This one is for my brother as the hospital makes him as comfy as he can be
My heart is heavy tonight
Loving Peter
Reality is a funny thing
Sadness is what it can bring
Truth you don't want to hear
Knowing is your greatest fear
Childhood thoughts passing through
In my mind it's a beautiful view
Already missing the boy you were
Emotional journey inside me does stir
The loving father you turned out to be
The person your girls won't grow to see
An empty feeling hard to explain
Writing words to keep sane
Oh how I wish life was always fair
But our plates never hold more than we can bare
My love for you will always be
Whether here on earth or heaven, you'll see
Be strong my brother in your passing day
God will hold you and show you the way
Take comfort in knowing you won't be alone
No longer afraid of what is unknown
