Array ( [sid] => 172636 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A final Visit [time] => 2012-05-23 12:25:46 [hometext] => In Remembrance of the passing of my beloved brother Karli [bodytext] =>

This visit was already made
Some years ago, to be precise,
But Oh! remembrance does not fade,
And this is where my trouble lies.

I never really thought that I
Would find the strength to go,
But fear my brother dear could die
Bade me to go, - you know.

I had postponed my trip for years,
From fear of the good-bye,
But then I overcame my fears,
Of farewells drawing nigh.

Arriving is a wondrous thing,
But after that good-bye,
So deep the hurt, so sharp the sting,
The thought just made me cry.

But oh! I made the trip of love
went,- with God’s help I went,
The Lord sent me of strength enough,
Made me resilient.

Now emptiness I tolerate,
Recalling the farewell,
Its in the cards, its human fate,
To hurt at times like hell.

But sister and her brother met,
And said good-bye some morn,
But Father’s love with kindness shed
Grace, so it could be born.

I made the final trip, and I am glad
For now my cherished brother dear is dead,
My losses are so many, but I lost
My only brother dear at Pentecost.

A male white dove pecked at my window sill.
A sign so sweet and blessed from above
It seemed the gentle dove cooed through its bill'
'Sis! so much stronger than grim death is love!.

'Sis! so much stronger than grim death is love!.

Yep, you said it!!!! In some ways, not a loss at all but I am sorry for your loss. Beautifully penned. I can definitely relate as my sister died on Aug 25, 2006. I told her I would not say good-bye, rather until we meet again.

Take care,

Tim

Beautiful seems such a poor word to sum this up but sadly I have no greater one.
So touching and so sad, but a triumph in words at least.
Sorry for your loss

Wonderful words! A great poem with much heart and soul poured into it.
