Fantastic write! And how wonderful that your brother and God were watching out for you (even as unnerving as I'm sure it was). flowerforyou flowerforyou


Morning sweet lady!flowerforyou flowerforyou

Thanks for your words I'm glad you liked it!
I have been in a few accidents in my life and there is always that fear factor that goes with them but in this case there was a strange peace and warmth that out weighed that feeling until it was over and I was safe.
I know that my brother has been taken to Glory to sit at the Right hand of God so to have him sent back to me to save my life is a gift I don't take lightly.

Though he is gone
As an angel he came
His body is dust
Yet he looked the same

I'd just left work
It had been a hard day
I remember waking
To the words he did say

"Sis wake up"
I thought it a dream
"I said wake up!"
I heard him scream

My head snapped up
My eyes opened wide
There I was driving
Down the wrong side

I saw the lights
It was a truck
I remember thinking
"This is it... OH F***"

Brake real hard
Now crank the wheel
My God what's happening
It's so surreal

I did what he said
I braked and turned
Gasping for breath
How my chest burned

The truck went by
As I sat there
Looking around
Becoming aware

I looked over
To see him walking
It really was him
I'd heard talking

The man in the truck
Came back to where
I was sitting shocked
And could only stare

He asked me then
"Are you alright?"
"Where's the walking man?"
"You both gave me a fright"

I said to him then
"I'm so sorry, I'm OK"
There wasn't much more
I was able to say

Then he left
Letting out a sigh
I looked around
And started to cry

I threw rocks and screamed
Then sat on the ground
My world had been
Turned upside down

On the other side
Facing the other way
I'd fallen asleep
And my car'd gone astray

I sat a long while
Torn up inside
I found myself sitting
Right where he had died

This man is my brother
I carry with me
Now he's my angel
For all to see


This is a thing that really happened about two months after Lurch died. I still get chills thinking about it. With God all things are possible... Always near

l_s,

This is beautifully done. It would seem to me he knows this has been ex-treeemely hard for you and you needed proof no matter what he will always, always be there for you. The lesson of love; true deep unconditional love cannot be absolutely proven in the physical alone. You and your brother have a very rare and wonderful relationship. Yes, I said have. You know all this. Finish the grief cycle so you both continue to grow in this love, trust it and have faith and you both will do what you need to do and still some how continue to share the experiences of the other.

Much love................

Thanks you both so much! This man is an amazing person and I so treasure the love he and I still share every day. He is with me no matter where I go and no matter what I do. After I wrote this poem and got it posted I felt warmth and a sense of pride not coming from me but being given to me and it was wonderful to feel that coming from him.
Sharing him and all he has meant to me is the part of the grieving process that I am loving so much. I'm celebrating his life and sharing the love I have for him with others and that is like a party all in itself to me.
