2011 - Day 222

The moment when
My whole life changed
A memory so clear,
Naive and young
Hope filled my soul
Eventually deranged.
Sitting there
Without a care
When Mom comes into my room,
The news is bad
Does make me sad
I run by the light of the moon.
My brother is gone
My heart sings a sad song
My life will forever be altered,
Though not in the flesh
He still walks by my side
To help me in times when I falter.
