The Brother

Who is that up there on the mantle?
Red hair, blue eyes, freckles.
He seems to be staring at you with emotions,
Lost, sad, sorrow.
Who is that up there on the mantle?
Not a man, but too old for a boy,
No smile, lifeless wave, gritted teeth.
Who is that up there on the mantle?
He played football, basketball, and soccer.
Who is that up there on the mantle?
When you look at the picture you see,
Darkness, unhappy, and heartbroken
Who is that up there on the Mantle?
You vision happier days with him,
Playing, laughing, and joking.
Who is that up there on the mantle?
As you gaze reality arises,
Death, Pain and grief
Who is that up there on the mantle?
The love one has for her brother,
Whose life was short lived
And his picture now sits on the mantle.
