Ray

I remember the days

I'd dreamed for a brother

older than me

there when I needed a friend

"That won't ever happen"

is what I was told

Then I found out

that I was right

I did have a brother

his name was Ray

you died so young

only a few hours old

I never met you

but, you know me

I often wonder

what you would be like

how would you look

would you look like dad

or maybe your mom

would you be a sports guy

or an artist like me

I wish I had met you

to know my brother

but, what won't be now

but, I'll see you soon

Wow this is incredible, I know exactly what you are trying to portray in this poem.
I will forever have these questions in my mind as well unfortunately I have to add one more. Where you a brother or a sister? My mom had a miscarriage like a year after she had me...

this reminds me of an amazing story...
the beginning of life in the japan disaster
a baby found unharmed in the rubble of destroyed buildings
his name became ray
to symbolize light in dark times
I must be reading this poem in the wrong way but it reminds me of beauty and life rather then the death portrayed
