Vani Gopal Poet Light Verse

My Brother

Brother i miss you so dearly
I am sorry you left before i could say goodbye
What a beautiful soul you are
your passing away has left us so  empty
My dear brother i am sure god made it 
a pinprick because i cried to the lord that you must
not feel pain

I am sorry i was not there to save you
I wish i was with you just to sit by your side
To say a prayer when you lie on the road
Your friends did find your favorite shoes on the other side
Sorry brother for being so young and snatched away

Mum was sick and they called for someone in the
Family to identify your body
As they drove closer to the station
Memories of our childhood hit me so badly
Sitting in the car i lay my head next to the window so that the wind
can dry my tears

As we came closer
My heart pounded with fear
could they have made a mistake
Thoughts of hope flashed in my mind
that you were still alive


As they took me nearer
I saw this body covered with this silver foil
I was frightened brother
i managed to take a peak
And found you brother oh what sadness i felt

You lie still and cold an empty body 
Blood dripping from the hole in your head
I found a flower and placed on hole of your injury
I wept like never before
I bent down and kissed your cold lips
And bid your farewell


This is my prayer to you my  brother
Dear god look after my brother
Bless him with all your love
Shower abundant grace on him
God you know what a kind soul he was

He was loved by all his friends
His family loved him
God please look after him
As you know his heart was studded with rubies and gold
That was the beauty of his heart filled with kindness
and love


I know you have made a special place for him
Brother i hug through my words
You have left your legacy behind
Of impeccable qualities
One day i will meet you again
In heavens road when
its my time in this temporary world
We blow kisses for you brother
Know we will always treasure
the memories we once shared
Goodbye brother
