From Time To Time I Think Upon You

My Brother,
Here's to the years we knew
though it seems they went all too fast.
It feels our times together, too few;
those things that we wanted to last.

From time to time I think upon you
and our boyhood adventures together.
Each day was the wonder of something new
and in time our differences we'd weather.

Times then, so distant from times now
and I've walked on in this life without you.
To live with regret, I just won't allow
But with cherished memories as you'd want me to.

My Brother,
Here's to the promising  years ahead
and into those days I carry your memory.
In my heart I know it is that you're not dead
but in that place where I know I shall be.

Douglas, I lost my brother almost 16 years ago this May. I can sure understand this and I feel this very thing each and every day. Very well expressed. Michael
