This is a poem for my stillborn brother. If he had lived, he would be 24.
In a vessel of warmth did you live,
the Chalice of Life poured over your soul.
Life taken away, but life did it give,
And sprang forth an ephemeral role.
Many a God did see fit to bestow.
In my mother's arms did you flicker away,
A burden of sadness did she tow.
Many a night did I hear her pray,
For the soul of Xavier, oh the woe!
I hope you found peace in the afterlife,
And a great woman to be your wife.
Rest In Peace.
A little rusty, but I do like how it came out. I suppose it must be weird to think of a stillborn as a brother, but to me he is. Even though I never met him. I suppose I'm just really emotional.
Oh well! So be it.
Xavier

That should read "But life did it give" not " did I give"

Fixed it for you. I had three that didn't make it to birth. It doesn't make them any less my children. Thank you for your tribute to your brother.tutmosis wrote:That should read "But life did it give" not " did I give"

Re: Xavier
Nope, not weird at all. I used to talk to my stillborn brother untill I started school. I still feel he is protecting and guiding me even though he is/ is supposed to be younger.
