He Is Gone Poem by Eunice Herlo

The moment he went away
My head and heart felt lost
Something felt wrong that day
Losing my brother was a great cost

It has been six years long
I can remember so clear that day
It was not a happy song
But a thought that there is no way

Tears stung my eyes at the news
Maybe there was a hope
He was a great treasure to lose
But the truth was too great to cope

As I said my good-bye
In my heart a peaceful feeling began
My mind stopped asking 'why? '
Because I would one day see him again
