Memory

My head is spinning
swirling with emotions
of a memory long past
lapping softly like the oceans

Looking back now
craning my neck
for a better view
of the reality check

My parents were both crying
I have never felt so bad
as when I saw
those tear stains on my strong Dad

Feeling as helpless
as I have ever felt
wondering how to deal
with this tragedy dealt

Moving closer
coming all to each other
my family bonded
mourning my baby brother
