Patricks Journey
As the days go byÂ
I do what I doÂ
Breathing bleeding
Tearful inside
Getting caught in the trap of meaningless things
I guess
For a while at least
Until I'm back again
And only in that place
Can I weep for you my brother
In that sad silence
I remember
Just give me a minute World
And ill be alright
Once again able to pretend
I'm forged from steel
Once again strong machine
And with my Repressed heart
I scream in sorrow
Until the day I break down
Destroyed inside from the way it went down
Stillness surrounds
The smell of flowersÂ
A room washed with tears
The tragedy of our lives
Unfolding
Once again as I'm holding
You my wee brother
In this four cornered frame
A longing I can't describe in words
A grief that transcends world's
I sit still
Still breathing
And  as I wipe away
Yesterday's tears
I just know
I know I will see you again.
A poem
In loving memory
Of Patrick Herdman.

Hello My friend,
Take as long as it take my friend….Yesterdays residual tears, will again become todays', once again, showers of flow, once wiped freely from your face. Once alone, the memories are all mine and I weep freely, long and without control, for now this time belongs truly to the emotions of my hearts most cherishable loss, of your  brother as well as my own...So sad is this one but to relate, I most definitely do, I have lost (3) brothers in the matter of as many years from cancer and a father and mother through loss of kidney failure...A well understood position to be placed in my friend...Keep his dreams and love for you and yours alive, through you and he will always live....
God Speed,
Jim
