Brother Mine

This is a poem I wrote for my Aunty Daph on the death of her brother Teddy:

Brother Mine,

You lived life well,

All who know you,

Have tales to tell.

 

You enriched my life,

All you were is treasure to me,

My memories are full,

Better than any camera, they are you see. 

Today I mourn my loss of you,

In quiet solitude.

We are children again,

Thank you brother, goodbye dear one,

Until we meet and then... 

Through fields we will run free of old age,

Laughing, smiling hand in hand,

As young as my memories are now of you.
