To Soar On Autumn's Wings

i feel like i am walking in the shadows of my brother's footsteps these highs and lows the ups and downs towards the valley below these little steps inching closer to another year passing in time another year older another day to fear sometimes i wish i could fly on autumn's winds past the month's that numb me and land gently on a summer's breeze revived

Love the concept of soaring on autumns wings, fly fly away from all the hurt this time of year brings, so sad the thought of walking in the footsteps of your brother...

had a bad sugar day, highs and lows, i don't know what the deal was but the CGM wasn't working at all and diabetes took my brother...he passed the day after his birthday, mine is only a few days away.... thank you John :) hugs

Beautifully done Sandra. Sadly, these cycles will continue as you carry the hope of two souls through your life.

Such a sad and heart touching piece. One step, one day at a time. Life is cruel sometimes, we lose those we love but life is also beautiful for the memories we get to keep are a gift of a lifetime. Keep walking my friend, keep smiling, keep writing and keep remembering and know that the path you follow will always lead to something good. Your talent amazes me.

Thank you so much my friend, your words are always inspiring...i just had a bad day yesterday, it brought back my brother's death the day after his birthday and suddenly i wasn't looking forward to my own special day which is only a few days away....hence the wings to fly past it... hugs :)
