To be alone is not so bad.
Sometimes the solitude can make you feel you've not lost sight of your ideal.
But to be lonely is a curse in all life there's nothing worse than to feel that no one understands how hard you've tried to make your hands reach up to grasp for something strong to make you feel that you belong, so you can hold your head up high and say to people so can I.
I too can do what must be done, I've fought my battles and I've won. The road is long and on the way you'll want to say I'll never make it what's the use, there's no encouragement just abuse, but if you rise above these things the day will come when you're soul will have wings. You will face the world tall and real and you will possess your ideal. You can stand erect and feel so sure that what you've gained will be secure.....Ron White
The poem above was found on the head stone of Ron White in Erlinger Ky
It speaks volumes of my brothers life.
Somewhere in a dream I saw you
I can't remember it clearly but I know it was you
I saw you standing proud and tall
it was as if you hadn't died at all.
No loneliness nor pain etched on your face
Not even a trace
How handsome you looked with the wind blowing
ruffling your hair.
I called out to you standing there
I wanted to tell you that I did care
We had so many memories to share
You turned and smiled at me and I could see that sweet smile
that I had always loved since you
were a child
Then the tears came and blinded me.
And when I had wiped them
from my eyes so I could see
You were gone and I was left with nothing but the memory.
Written for my brother after I had the dream...
