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.
