We Will Soar Again

Today I share a poem for my brother, Paul, whom I love so much and share so much childhood memories with. Paul has spent the last few days by spouse’s bedside as she battle an aggressive return of cancer. I am sad today and ask for your prayers for my brother Paul, his spouse and my nieces and nephews.

We Will Soar Again

Do not fear the winds of sorrows
We are with you in this dark hour
Like a kite flying high in the wind
With brotherly love
We will soar again

We never knew
Her cancer would return so soon
Now we are swallowed up in fear
Our love is keeping you at her side
As she drift by she is holding on
Do let her know we care
With love
We will soar again

Fresh in our memories
Is the day our mother died
As you watch your spouse drift by
I felt the pain in your voice
From sunny Florida to wintry Toronto
It brought tears to my eyes
We know she is strong
For she is holding on
We will soar again

We love you Paul
We will hug, we shall cry
We will look to the sky
Like our mother before she died
We too will not ask God why
We will soar again

In this dark hour of sorrows
We embrace you with love
And your children too
Together as brothers
We will watch the white doves fly above
On the wings of a Phoenix with love
We will soar again

To my brother Paul with love.
