A Dear Brother

Folder: 
Family

I watch you suffer in silence

with your eyes in tears and glistening

pretending that nothing is happening

but deep inside I know you're dying



The Doctor's said you'll live for three

more months, so make use of your remaining

days, eat well, love most, and always remember,

to pray and wish that you'll live longer



You are my older brother, the only one who's

always looking at my shoulder,day and night

you would order, for me to take care and be

altogether.



Together we would watch the movies

and talk until we loose our voices

and when I married my dear hubby

you were so happy cuz you had the same hobbies



I dread the day when you'll be going

who else can I talk for long, long hours

will you come and see me when I'm older

so when it's my time to go,we will still

be together



To you my beloved brother: Alfonso Eltanal

This is so truly beautiful and your love for your brother burned brightly. I am so sorry that you are loosing him. I am facing that now with my Mother.

Blessings,
Lesa
