The Messenger That Doesn’t Speak



Mama,
I know you miss me
Because I miss you too
You toss and turn both day and night
Missing my voice
Wishing you can look up to me
With a smile
And the discipline
You had always given us
I’m a shadow from the sun
To give you comfort from the heat of the day
I’m a cloud in the sky
To shield the cold air from you body
When it rains
I’m sad because I miss you so much
When the sun greets you each morning
I’m smiling because I know you are doing well
Now I can move on to my new life
Knowing you filled with happiness

We all had times in our lives
When things overtook us
When God tells us to come home
No one understands why He takes us from this Earth
But I cannot do anything about it
That is how He operates
We must accept it
I know you had done the best
You could do to raise me
I’m well pleased with the things you had done for me
You gave me a home to live in
Food to silence my angry stomach
Clothing to cover my body from the weather
Love to spread joy and laughter to others
I see you in prayer, kneeling to the Lord
Asking Him to give me a place in His kingdom
To give you the strength to move forward
To find a way to keep the family strong

Rest I say
Take a vacation
You deserve one
There are more important things you must do
To find the bliss this life had took from you
Believe me as truth
Happiness was always there
In the family shall you find it?
Through their words is my memory
If you see a kind who is tall
You see me
If you see a kin that likes to laugh
I shall laugh with him
If you can see the love the family gives to you
Responding to the loss of me
Really, I’m still with you
The things my family is doing
Is a living memorial to me?
In body, I’m absent
In the words and actions of my family
I live on in you and in my family
Look around you
I’m still alive indeed
Just look, hear, and smell
I’m all around you
I’m here with you always
I’m not going anywhere

We must accept life’s ups and downs
But love is the key in keeping my memory alive
So whenever you are feeling down and out
Whisper out my name
And before you know it
I’m there with you
Telling you everything will be all right
I love you with all my heart
Remember
I’m strong in mind
At heart and at spirit
I know it’s hard to express myself
But deep down inside
My height is a thousand words
You be blessed
And don’t worry about me

I’m doing with God now
To be absent from the body
Is to be present with the Lord

Your son,
Kevin

Gramsy,

This is a poem about the final thoughts of the loss of a loved one. It’s written in poetic form, but this piece of literary writing is only my opinion of the thoughts of Patrick Kevin Brown before he left this earth. I hope it brings you comfort, reflection, and peace for years always.
