By My Side
Poem of blessing for my big brother
I don’t remember the years apart Only with you, by my side
Snow days meant more time together Snowball fights, forts for cover, and slick sleds for speeding
Admiration for comics and games I was too young to understand But imagination and make-believe I knew
Flowing tears and paralyzing struggles Wouldn’t stop you standing by me
Any absence of photos will not change I’ll never forget your genuine smile and abundant laugh
Your words of love and comfort reach me in my precise need Miles and birthdays have grown in the distance from each other
If my mind escapes me, my Faith reminds me where you are Only with me, by my side
Thank you for reading. Please check out some of my other poems.
