Dear little brother-<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Has your mind found quiet there beyond?<\/div>\n
Has your broken body released?<\/div>\n
Has your sideways smile come and gone?<\/div>\n
Has the anger ceased?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We look to the water and mountains and sky.<\/div>\n
We drink Diet Coke, eat hot dogs and club sandwiches too<\/div>\n
We wonder what was truth and what was a lie<\/div>\n
We laugh and cry and spin circles thinking of you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am sorry I took the healthy genes<\/div>\n
I am sorry I drew all the lucky cards<\/div>\n
I am sorry I was the star of all the good scenes<\/div>\n
I am sorry I let you die alone by the shards<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please light the sun with your fire<\/div>\n
Please fill the wind with your laughter<\/div>\n
Please tickle our memories when we tire<\/div>\n
Please shine our souls with yours ever after.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With love,<\/div>\n
Your Sister<\/div>\n
