Not A Day That I Don'T Think Of You Dear Brother Poem by Marijo Pinero

Everyday I think of you my dear brother
Everytime I see your car in the garage
Tears race down my cheeks.
Your sudden departure, tears our hearts apart
It's been a year since you left to join our Lord.
Forever we will cherish your memories.
We know you are safe in His hands.
But the thought of not coaxing you more bothers me so much,
Why Brad, why didn't you you see your doctor?
Something inside you needed to be checked up,
But you kept saying, 'I'm fine and ok',
when you're not.
Until now the feeling of guiltiness still within me.
There are nights that I can't rest easy.
My conscience bothers me terribly.
Someday we'll see you when it's our turn,
When the candles of life that we each bear
will melt away.
In the meantime, we still grieve for you brother
God knows how long will this go on.
Because not a day that I don't think of you
my dear brother.
