That day was unbearable
But I tired to hide behind my smirk
As people walked down the walkway
My smirk turned to a frown
Tears shed
Because now you were dead
I couldn't beleive it
I felt as if I was cheated
All my life you were here or near
But now (neither)here or near
I try my best to stand strong
Even if I have to stand alone
This is the case since you are gone
Now i'm nobody
Nobody knows my name
Some people don't care if i'm hurt or ill
Some act as if they care
Now i'm bitter
All I do since you are not here is remember
My dear brother Willie

dearest taneisha,
I am deeply saddened reading about your loss. your brother must have meant a lot to you and him not being physically present in your life anymore is certainly a very difficult challenge for you.
I wish you that you feel his presence in your heart, because it is there where he shall always reside and inspire you, console you, help you, teach you ... be with you.
you will certainly sense his presence as soon as your biggest grief has healed a little bit and you have found a bit of consolation and tranquility. then you will hear his murmur, his soft and gentle presence, he may also manifest in your nightly dreams or come to your mind during a daydream ...
if ever anybody tells you that this means nothing and is just your vivid imagination, (adults sometimes do that), don't believe them and trust your inner feeling. it is always right.
promised ?
take good care of yourself, sweet little soul,
much love to you,
a big hug
and a kiss on your nose
your friend maa
