Today would have been my brother's 40th birthday. He died in a car accident when he was 18 years old. In memory of him, I wrote this poem a few years ago.
Forever
Stuck in time, forever a teen
Never growing up,
Somehow it seems
That time has flown by,
The years have gone fast
But I remember the past.
Watching my children,
Remembering my own childhood,
Brothers and sisters
Should grow old together.
But you’re gone forever.
Stuck in time,
Forever a teen.

Wow, that's profound. It made me think - I have a twin brother who was stillborn. I wonder sometimes what it would be like to have him around, but in my mind, I guess he will always be a baby.
Linda, I never knew that. Thanks for sharing.
Loved your poem, Tracy. Very profound. Still seems so unfair that Bill's life ended so early.
Yes, it is terribly unfair, Patsy. Thanks for reading the poem.
Wow, that is so good. You are a very talented writer. I really feel your pain. It is really hard for me to imagine losing someone close at such a young age.
Thank you, Di.
