PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

For so many years I didn't know

the color of your eyes,

how tall you were the way you laughed

or if you ever cried,

Too many times I asked myself

I wonder where he lives?

will he ever know of us

and the love we have to give?

I talked to you in darkness

in the quiet of the night,

pretended you were with us

as mom turned out the light,

I prayed to God that someday

we would finally meet,

and with that hope within my heart

I would soon find sleep,

I guess the Lord was listening

to that childhood prayer,

last week when I looked to my side

you were standing there,

For all the years I missed you

all the years I went without,

a dark haired little brother

to play with and push about,

I hope you know that I love you

and that it fills me with great pride,

to have my long lost little brother

standing at my side,

It is the greatest joy to me

more than you realise,

to finally know to finally see

the color of your eyes...
