This poem was written in dedication to my brother who was tragically killed in an accident while on vacation with his girlfriend in Antigua. I was proud to read it at his Memorial Service on May 14, 1999. Sadly he was only 33 years old and will be deeply missed by many.

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

Goodbye, My Brother
My brother Greg an awesome guy,
I don't know why you had to die.
You were so cute as a little boy,
You smiled at us and brought us joy.

Even though we had our little fights,
Over silly things like phone lines and wiring lights,
I never wanted to be a pest,
I needed your skills, cause you're the best.

I'm glad those times, were only a few,
It was hard for me to argue with you,
But that's just me, as you are you,
And in the end you always came through.

This is Lanesville where you are from,
We all are here with Deb and Mom,
Our hearts are broken, as you know,
We really can't bear to let you go.

Sometimes you were so crazy and loony,
Especially with the friends who call you "Cooney",
I know that everyone here will agree with me,
That the Lanesville Crew is the best there could ever be.

We wish so much that you were here,
Or just down "The Cove" havin' a beer.
It's happy thoughts that will get us through,
Like all the fun we shared with you.

And now my poem will come to an end,
Until the day we meet again,
I pray that you are now at peace.
Goodbye Greg With Love From Lis

  • Letty
    I can tell that it was truly written from the heart. Pain, such as the loss of a brother is. I cannot describe. PAINFUL. No other feeling like it in the world. I, too, lost my brother to cancer 6 months ago. When he was first diagnosed, I wrote a poem (an angry poem), but I'm trying to build up my courage to enter it anywhere. Maybe I'll post it in here. My deepest sympathy.
  • Ashley
    I thought this was one of the best poems that i have ever read. Ireally liked it alot.
  • Only Me
    That was a really good poem. My little brother died about nine years ago, but i still miss him alot.
  • kerry

  • Christina
    Your poem was really good and very touching. My brother died when he was 3 yeras old and even though i didnt get to know him sometimes i think of how life would be if he was still alive. I look at his picture day and night and everytime i do i feel like crying. All of my friends have brothers and they always talk about the fun that they have with them and i cant be around people when they talk about their brothers.

  • JUDY
    I had 3 brother and 1 sister, my mother is 85, my brother's are my very best friend's and my hero's. My sister is 7 year's older than me. She married when I was nine years old. My brother took care of me threw all my teenage year's while my mother and dad work. We lost our father in 1994, that was end of my life, I thought. Time goes by but dad nerver really left me, because I can still see him and feel him around me. Now it is 2005, this year I lost my baby brother Feb. 15th, he just went to bed and has a heat attact, I lost my brother Doug 5 monts later, he just fell over with a blood clot. Your poem remains me of them. Thank You

  • Steve
    This is a good poem because i lost a good frind that treated me like his brother. His name was brian and he died in a car crash 10 days after his birht day in july of 2003. He would have graduated but he died and the bad part is that the guy who drove the car and that was the cause of the accident he was in my class and i was just so mad at him.
  • Priscilla
    I love your poem. I just lost my brother too on Wednesday November 3 2004. But the really bad part about that is that i never got to meat him. nobody did because he wasnt born yet. he had a twin sister. i just wish that he could of lived that way we could have our good times and bad. well any way i just wanted to let you know that your poem touched me. you are a good writer.

A. on April 17, 2003. he was only 23 years old. he got hit by a drunk driver while walking down the road early in the morning after his girlfriend kicked him out of his house. he was an awesome brother and always looked out for his brothers and sisters. i will never forget when i heard the news he was gone. my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach. to this day i am still wishing the news wasn't true and i could hold my brother in my arms and tell him how much i love him. my daughter's 2 and a half right now. i will always tell her of her uncle. good job on the poem it was awesome and very touching

    I am so sorry about the loss of your brother. My brother was in a car accident on Nov. 8,2003. He was in a coma until we lost him on Dec. 19,2003. It was very hard on my family and I. My brother and I have a beautiful relationship and now it's gone. The only thing now is he is watching over my family and me. My brother was only 28 years old and he left behind four children which he loved dearly! His youngest baby is only 3 months old. You will be in my prayers. God Bless you!
