Notes About The Poem
My Brother, Richard Steven Hundley was born in 1972 and passed away in 2012. Miss you Bird-Bird!!
Stevie, Earth Angel
Stevie, Earth Angel
You were born blind
Eyes that could not see the beauty
Of your own sweet smile
Yet you saw beauty
in the people who loved you
and discerned every intention.
You were born with Cerebral Palsy
You could not speak a word
Could not convey
the kindnesses you thought
Yet you spoke love and trust so loudly
to those who took time to hear you.
The nonsense sounds and utterings
Became sweet music
your family understood.
"I do too Ceeka"
"I love you too Stevie."
Your fragile body, withered and broken,
was unable to move freely...
unable to walk or dance
to the music you held so dear.
Yet in my dreams
you walk to me,
You dance to
majestic angel songs.
I am blessed to have known
your innocent soul...
but heaven is where
you have always belonged.
