My Brothers Gift

It's holiday, we went to see My brother and his family. Lots of adults and a baby, Big brother was a dad to me And now he had his family. What good fun he gave us that day. At last a happy family. His happiness he could not hide His gift to us his smile so wide. Its holiday. The knock on the door came after. Not long came the end of laughter. My brother, father, son, and friend His life did end Its holiday.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Mandy. The holidays bring their memories back to us though we miss them always it is even more so on holidays dear friend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to see if I can write something for a couple contests this weekend. Hope you find the inspiration to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Love, Carol
