My Brother

Tyler's story

My Brother

 

My brother was a hero,

Who’d protect me from all harm.

My brother was a lover,

Always full of charm.

 

My brother was a model,

For tragedies to come.

For my brother was a child,

When my mom felt him go numb.

 

My brother could’ve been a hero,

To protect me from all harm.

My brother could’ve been a lover,

Always full of charm.

 

But I never met my brother,

And I don’t know what he’s like.

This never should’ve happened,

But it did,

On that warm winter’s night.

 

Sometimes in my sleep,

I can hear my brother cry.

I only wish I could join him,

Comfort him.

I only wish I could fly.

Author's Note

Sometimes I wonder what it would've been like to have an older brother. My mom had a miscarraige before I was born. She would've named him Tyler.

Btw, when it says "warm winter's night" You're probably thinking 'how can it be warm if it's winter?' But I meant it to sometime in mid-March, where it's almost spring, but just still cold enough to be winter.

This was such a great poem, Abbey. I'm sorry to hear that your mother miscarried. I bet that was hard for her. I loved how you wrote this, it really say a lot. Great Job. :)
