Array ( [sid] => 54251 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Thirty Years [time] => 2004-06-30 12:14:09 [hometext] => To my brother, Stanley. Whom I still love and think of daily. [bodytext] => Dear Stan,
Thirty years have come and gone,
Life has changed with each new dawn,
No longer a teen goofing around,
Or dragging Main all night uptown,
College days are in the past,
Staying young didn’t last,
Of course, you know all I say,
By watching over us everyday,
God gave you to us for a while,
Your memory still makes us smile,
He also took you away so far,
To Heaven on a beautiful star,
We send rockets in to the skies,
Searching out the answers why,
We find craters, rocks and brighter suns,
But, Heaven’s door bell is left unrung,
For if Heavens address were in reach,
Our rocket ships would have more seats,
In these seats your family would be,
On their way hoping to see,
To touch your face and hold your hand,
To hug you tight would feel so grand,
To hear your voice and your laugh,
To catch up on and remember the past,
You’re an uncle now times three,
All girls you’d love to see,
A reunion ~ A visit ~ A few minutes in time,
Just to hold and touch you one more time,
A family reunion outside Heaven’s Door,
We wouldn’t stay long ~ Or ask for more,
Just know that we love you still,
And we promise we always will,
Thirty years it’s been so long,
Yesterdays memories are so strong,
We love you big brother and mom loves you too,
Just thought it was time to write a letter to you.

~ With Tender Thoughts & Precious Moments ~
~ Your Family Loves You ~

Dear Stan,

This is sad but yet I see beauty in the love you all shared. It feels like it will never get better, yet I know in time the scars will at least heal on the outside. It is just so hard to be without and to find joy in each day. It is supposed to make us stronger they say but I haven't hit that level yet. Beautiful write and feelings.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
