Together
May 27, 2012
We were brothers
We grew up
Together
You ran
I chased
The beautiful glow of
joy
on your face
We charged into battle
Like Hercules and the Lion
but
We had no chance of
Dying
You picked up the pace
I continued to chase
The beautiful glow of
Joy
on your face
We got bigger
We got older
My pace quickened
Your pace slowed
We sat in the car
Your head in My lap
Staring up at me
as I stared back
You lay on the table
Our family crying
Accepting the terrible fact:
You were
Dying
