James Fraser Poet Rhyme

That Monday Night

As brothers do
We argued at times
But on that Monday night
To the heavens you climbed

You ran ahead
But you could run very fast
I was left behind
Your life was cast

To grow together
Was taken from us
For much i would have said
In brotherly discuss

First i would say
I loved you so dear
I have just turned 49
And i wish you were here

A little brother
Needs a big one to follow
For many years after
My life was so hollow

The games we played
Football and others
Its the way it should have been
For us Fraser brothers

So Billy my brother
Boom, Boom to thee
I see you fly through the stars
As you look down over me

I only knew you
Seven little years
And every time i think of you
It brings me to tears

So next time you fly over
I have words to say
There in a loving poem
From my heart their displayed

Mary Meade Stephenson January 5, 2010 at 7:07 PM This is a wonderful tribute to your brother James....losing a loved is so very hard. Especially when it happens in youth. For we do not truly understand it. Sometimes even time does not lessen the pain. This brought back memories..and tears. Thanks so much for sharing! I am sure Billy is watching from heaven and will be there waiting! God Bless~Mary

Sara Kendrick January 5, 2010 at 1:22 PM Sad write here, James. It has been 42 years according to your poem and you still miss this brother(I couldn't decide if he was younger or older). He was so young that he will be waiting for you in heaven needing his brother when he gets there. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2010 at 12:25 PM HI, James. This makes me want to know more about your little brother. I take it he died when you were both very small? Those last several stanzas your love and kinship was strongly expressed. andrea
