This poem is about my 21 year old brother who died 2 months ago in a car accident. I love him so much and even though he's not physically here, he's with me in my heart and my mind.

This poem originally was published in Sad Poems - Poems about Death

In My Mind
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"

You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"

It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My brother - whose heart was filled with love

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you

"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

    My husband found this poem online and shared it with me. It really touched me. I have not been able to get these words out of my head. When I heard this poem it was 2 days after my older brother, 23, was killed in a car accident. I saw that the author of the poem shared a similar tragedy that inspired this poem, and all I really want to say is thank you! You said what I could not put into words.

  • CLETA
    I loved it, its simplicity, not simple, but absence of pretense. Still with deep meaning. It meant a lot to me, I have lost a lot of very good friends in very short time so I can identify some. But nothing like a brother, It would be unbearable for me to loose my only sister. That realationship if it is good , is like no other. Thank you
  • Mommas

    Your poem REALLY got to me. I lost my boyfriend in Feb. of 2005 and it was really hard for me, and it still is. His birthday is coming up in 3 days and I've been thinking a lot about him and his family. This poem was just truly amazing. And to the author I'm very sorry for your loss as well. Throughout this whole experience I got taught to Be Strong! So I just want to thank you for writing this poem, it's very comforting. Much Love.

  • Jen

  • MaryAnn
    This Poem is really beautiful and I think it will help people that are having grief problems, I have a very good friend that has lost her 26 year old daughter due to child birth complactions, she has left behind a 4 yr old son and the new baby girl, her mother father and a Brother who is having very hard time with the loss of his sister. this poem is about the loss of a brother but it could go either way! loss of a sister also, the words are comforting, and shows that you never loose that person, you just cant see them, to print and frame this and hang it on the wall, will make you see you never forget, time just goes on! thank you for shareing this. also shows Gods will is much stronger than Anything!
  • Rose

    hey jenn i am taking the time to write to you and let you know that your poem really touched me. i lost a friend of mine neally a year ago and it still hurts, i took it alot better than many of my friends expecially my boyfriend who was best friends with him at the time he died. i am really sorry about your brother but never do forget that the people around you love you and will always stick by you. if you need to cry they will be there, i have never seen anyone take a loved one dying as bad as my boyfriend did and still is, but he has gotten through it and i have stuck by him. i hope you have someone to do the same because i know that trying to cope by yourself is the hardest thing ever. stay strong, all my love to you and your family

    That poem was awesome! It made me cry because my brother is also 21 and was in a car accident last May and that kinda reflected it! It must be hard to lose them cuz it's very hard just to find out that they were in a car accident!

    Jenn, That was very well written. Brother's can be so important in life and it sucks to lose them. Keep the attitude. It helps.

    hi Jenn im a Spanish girl who studies at Cardiff university. im 20 years old and my mother died last year. i was really touched when reading your poem, bec it expresses what i do feel. although those we love can go away, they will always be in our hearts, so its as if they were always with us. ive read that your brother died just 2 months ago. its really recent. if u need to talk to someone, just send me an e-mail and i will try to help u. Sometimes just expressing your feelings makes u feel better. try it with me if u need it. be patient, and give it time, u will never forget such nightmare, but as time passes by, u get used to it somehow. its very sad, but life goes on, and we have to continue, thats what they would like us to do. all the best, inma belloso

    This is the most wonderful poem I`v ever seen. You see how Jenn feels and how much she loves her brother. Her talent for expressing her feeling in writing is amazing and she helped me with this poem to understand the deaths of my gradfather and dad a little bit more. Thank you, Jenn.

    Jenn is my very best friend and I love her with all my heart. I didn't know her brother but I really wish I did. Everything I hear about him lets me know that he was an amazing brother, son, friend and person. I only wish I could have been so lucky as to have had the honor of knowing him. xoxo
