PAUL

PAUL

A Poem by Bill Grimes Jr.
"

My brother Paul shot himself in the head 2 days ago...........For you........

"

Some things

We mere mortals

Aren’t meant to understand

Like the bitter sting of death

Suicidal breath

Depression

Darkest demons

Dancing all around us

Human pain transcends

As evil tramples life

Addiction is a b***h my friends

I know this monster well

One cannot fathom hopelessness

Until we have survived it

The art of life is love

Brotherhood

Random acts of kindness

Grace from God above

We only need to LOVE…….

Support one another

Smile

And very often

The true meaning of our quest

I celebrate my Brother

A kind, artistic man

Filled with love to give

So quick to forgive

No more torment Paul

It’s all behind you now

I miss you

But rejoice

As you hear the angel’s voice

See you on the other side

You live within my heart

We’ll meet again someday

When its time…….
