I Still Feel You

I Still Feel You

By: Mark D. Taylor

I still feel you all around me in quite moments when I wake

Your laugh and smile are with me

In every sunset mother nature takes

Sitting, laughing, crying and talking late into the night

I remember you my brother

Together, your illness and it's demons, we vowed to always fight

I still feel your acceptance and the love you always gave to me

You taught me about forgiveness and told me I was tough

Then carried me when I was bleeding in places no one else could see

You shared your thoughts of God, his understanding ways

Then exercised more faith in expressing honest doubt

Never really losing the Son’s warmest rays.

I still feel your acceptance and love never feign

We confided in each other

We shared a common pain

I can still feel you my brother, your wisdom and embrace

I thought that I could save you, and hope you will forgive

My failure to act differently, to change your course and pace

I remember you existed, long before you came

I know you would have stayed if you could undue the past, even with you gone

Your forever in my heart, my brother, friend and confidant, always just the same

In loving Memory of my brother Sean D. Taylor

Sean, I kept a piece of you when you left this world;

and you took a piece of me with you. I miss you Paco!
