My husband found this poem online and shared it with me. It really touched me. I have not been able to get these words out of my head. When I heard this poem it was 2 days after my older brother, 23, was killed in a car accident. I saw that the author of the poem shared a similar tragedy that inspired this poem, and all I really want to say is thank you! You said what I could not put into words.

In My Mind

Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"

You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"

It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My brother - whose heart was filled with love

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you

"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

I can relate to this poem, I lost my brother last year. he was only 32 yrs old. He had so much energy and dreams. Just got married,daugher was only 6 weeks old. He was about to finish his house and thesis for His Master's degree. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him. Thanks for the poem. May God continue to bless you so you can write more poems, your words can be a comfort to others.

I loved it, its simplicity, not simple, but absence of pretense. Still with deep meaning. It meant a lot to me, I have lost a lot of very good friends in very short time so I can identify some. But nothing like a brother, It would be unbearable for me to loose my only sister. That realationship if it is good , is like no other. Thank you
Mommas
thats deep and i hope u can move on with ur life. Ur brother is in god's hands.
