About the Poem

This poem means a lot to me. My brother died when I was very young so I didn't have a chance to know him, and it may sound silly but I feel writing this poem brings me closer to him in some way because I feel in my heart that he can actually hear what I say can maybe see what I write. Love Poems

Missing You
by Natalie Harrison
Do you look down at me in the night
Do you see my candle burning so big and so bright
The candle I burn that reminds me of you
The candle I hope that you would burn too.
Not a day goes by where I don't think of you
hoping that you'd come back so the days won't be blue.
I feel no one understands me, apart from you.
I go to your grave expecting a response
to the pointless questions I can't get across.
Though sometimes In my mind I forget that you're dead
but I'll make sure you keep living in my head
I love you so much it makes me so sad
that I can't hear you say it back - the one thing that would make me glad.
You probably think I'm silly when we didn't even know each other
But to me you'll always be my brother.

Your poem really touched me because my brother has been in a coma for three weeks due to a car accident and has no brain activity at all so they are going to take him off life support. I didn't know him as well as I should have, so I completely understand what you are saying. Thanks for the great poem, it made me feel less alone.

I really liked this poems because I am 14 years old and lost my brother about 2 months ago. He was 18 and sometimes I have these major breakdowns where I beg God to bring him back and ask why he took him. I know it won't ever come true, but at this age everything seems possible.

I love this poem. I lost my brother when he was about 7 months old. But i wasnt even born yet, so I didn't really know him. He would of been 18 this past november. My cuz showed me this poem and I started crying. I printed it on this background with an angel on it and its in a picture frame on my table and I read it almost every night. I Love You John Christopher. R. I. P.

This is a beautiful poem. i have been searching for ideas for a memorial of my little sister who was killed as a baby, sometimes i wonder the same things. never getting to know what might have been.
Lizzy
This poem made me start crying cause I was looking for the perfect poem for my brother's memorial page and then I saw this one and everything that Natalie said connects with me. It's such a great poem. It reminds me so much about my feelings about Matthew who was only 18 months older than me, but who was taken away from my family before he could take his first breathe.
Mary

I feel the same I lost a step brother and never meet him but I never got to see if he even loved me like a sister and i did with all my heart.
Mandi
I loved your poem. I lost my brother 3 months ago in a fire. i realize now that i didnt know him as well as should have. Everything you said about thinking of him everyday and wanting a response couldnt be more true. Its hard to live without him but it brings me comfort to read this.
