A day, A death, not meant for a child

It’s been five years
But that one day seems so real
The pain, tears, and sorrow
Come out, feelings revealed

January 15, 00 the day he was born
Finally a baby brother
My wishes came true
I was the happiest girl in school

I did not get to see him
Cause the doctor said he was sick
Something bad went wrong
I did not understand all of it

Tears kept falling out of my parent’s eyes
All I herd were words
Words that obviously were a surprise
The doctor gave us bad news

And that news ruined my whole life
5 days past and a phone call came about
My mom on the other line
Something terrible went down

Rushed to the hospital
Seeing so much pain
Friends and family
Were all waiting

I stood there staring into the glass
Chills running up my spine
Head spinning thinking of what happened
Then the nurse came out

Im sorry to tell you
That your brother has died
You can go in and see him
Your mother said it’s all right

The screams came out
So power-full and loud
Three in the morning
I feel strait down

Laying on the hospital floor
Wishing this was a dream
Crying and screaming
Full of sorrow and pain

I finally went in
Sat on the bed
My mother handed me my brother
His face was so pale

My palms where sweaty
His body turning cold
Not knowing what to do
I was paralyzed in confusion

I was only in forth grade
The worst day of my life
Even until this day, I hear the screams
And I feel the coldness of his body

Remembering that day so well
Haunting me every night
Wishing I could of done something
To have my brother back in my life

This poem was writen in memory of that day. I love you Joseph and miss you, your always in my prays and dreams.
