Another Day Poem by Sharon Page

As another day of my life comes slowly to an end, I pray for God's mercy to wake another day and start all over again. For tomorrow is not promised and who knows what lies ahead, as I struggle to keep living with unanswered questions, why is my little brother dead? I know he's watching over me and wants me to be strong, but I can't help but wonder what could have gone wrong.



One minute we were celebrating my 40th birthday and then less than 2 months he was taken away. I never got to say how much I loved him and how much he meant to me. He never got to open the presents I brought for him left under the Christmas tree. We were finally getting closer like a sister and brother should, I'd give my own life to bring him back again if only I could.



People will tell you to hold onto the memories, the good and the bad, But little do they know how hard that still is and how it makes me very sad. I don't know if my life will ever feel sane, because coping with grief and loss brings on so much pain.



As I try to stop writing and sum up my journal entry for today I feel there's much, much more I could say. But If I hold onto my hope for tomorrow I will live to keep writing one more day.
