Brother

Brother you were the boy that grew into a great man.
Running cars were your joy.
Offering advice was your line.
The day you passed I was left alone.
Heaven now has one more angel.
Eternally you will be missed.
Recognized for our strong resemblance.

Paula, I'm so sorry for your loss. My brother and sister are much older than I and I don't know how I will get through the pain if I outlive them. I hope writing this beautiful poem helped you cope. My sympathies, Carolyn
