Memorial Day #1
"Run with me, my brother
This morning, you and I.
As we reach the brilliant peak ahead,
Side by side, you and I.
Run with me, my brother
I want to feel you near.
To know you are there beside me
Cresting over each new hill.
Run with me, my brother
You were not here today.
The wind chilled me as I ran,
And I struggled to run the way.
Run with me, my brother
What trails do you run now?
Where do you run so quickly?
And leave no compass to show me how?
Run with me, my brother
Fill my soul with strength and peace.
Run with me, my brother
For my love will never cease.
Run with me, my brother
Here upon the earthly ground.
Run with me, my brother
Not beyond, in Heaven’s round.
Run with me, my brother
Where I can run with you.
Run with me, my brother
Where the sun will shine anew."

Love you Laura! You are an inspiration to me in so many ways. XOXOXO!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts and talents. They apply to all of us who have someone who is not here, but who we still want to share things with. Love you.
Such a beautiful poem. So heartfelt. Thank you for sharing it. You probably sobbed as you read it the first time, or did you write it? I didn't notice if you put the author or not.
Hugs and kisses
