Those Little Things

Do you remember…

Whispering that everything would be fine

Standing for hours beside my bed

Dear brother of mine

Can you recall…

When we danced together

You were so proud to say

Look, this is my little sister!

Do you still know…

Our fights about school

You wanted me to be better than you

But I thought that I was way too cool

Do you think about…

The times you got so mad

If anyone tried to hurt me

You couldn’t stand to see me being sad

I do remember…

All those little things, every day

You left a hole inside of me

Ever since Death took you away…

This is so beautiful Patty. I am so sorry you were separated from your brother far too soon. Your lovely prose proves that the body may part from us but we can never sever them from our hearts. Blessings upon you dear Patty.

  Thank you Phil.
  People always say that you have to remind the good things, you know?
  But it’s all those good things that make you miss someone so much.
