Patrick Angel Boston – stillborn, 4/20/1983.
We stand in the same line,
you and I-
yet when I turn to you,
I do not see your face-
but though I do not see your face,
or hear your laughter,
or see your smile,
we remain shoulder to shoulder
through the walk of my days-
you are just a bit higher than me
at the moment-
while you are looking down,
be sure that we’ll be looking up*
Thanks Gary for a most beautiful tribute to your brother on his “birth” day. His presence is definitely missed.
great poem. i feel the same way.
