Audrey Haick Poet Narrative

Brian Emil Carey

Brian Emil, my Brother, 
Tall, lean and handsome with
Beautiful almond-shaped eyes,
Always wearing a perfect smile
You never hurt a fly
My protector, my friend
Mama’s handy man
At such a young age
What special gifts you possessed
From fixing radios and ovens
Pianos and furniture
Every thing that broke you mended
And handled with such care
I only knew you eight years of
The fourteen you spent here on earth
Sweet memories of you live abundant 
In my heart after all this time
I remember you just as you were
I love you Brian, I always will

To my Brother Brian (RIP)-went home in many years ago.

Andrea Dietrich February 4, 2010 at 12:19 PM OH, he would have grown into such a find man from the way you describe him here. I too lost a brother who was early 30's when he died from a drunk driver hitting him. I am sure Brian is looking down on you smiling. LUv, Andrea
