Time And Tide
Time and tide wait for no man,
but I wish they would wait for me.
Then we'd sit in a boat, side by side,
and row on out to sea.
Siblings that pass away have special meaning to us. They are often close in age to us and their death may bring to mind our own mortality. Life is no longer taken for granted. Someone from our generation has passed away. If the death is unexpected, there may be loose ends in the relationship that have not been dealt with. It is common that a death of a sibling brings upon a search for meaning. We may ask ourselves if we are accomplishing the goals that we have set for ourselves.
Time and tide wait for no man,
but I wish they would wait for me.
Then we'd sit in a boat, side by side,
and row on out to sea.

I hear your voice in the dead, dark night.
I look around, but no one's in sight.

As a year has passed and two will be soon,
I look back at all the strength I have consumed.
From the day you left, I was lost, broken, and confused,

My tears will never cease to flow.
I cannot bear to see your pain.
We share a past no one else can know.
Now I'll never see your face again.
Having just lost my brother to cancer, this poem hit a raw nerve. It's spot on. I continually tell myself and everyone at least my brother is not in pain anymore. He can be without pain. It's...

My memories are what I have left,
and a lesson I will not forget.
The time has come when time is no more

With angel wings
You flew into my life
And covered me
Like a blanket in the night
You made a bad decision,
