A part of me died
When you did
I lived and breathed
But part of my soul felt gone
Jesus stood by my side
Through that terrible week
Seeing loved ones and talking
But you weren't there
When you gave people a hug
They disappeared in you arms
You towered over others
But you were as gentle as a fawn
I never heard you curse another person
Never a nasty comment about a woman
You treated people who cheated you as friends
You were to busy to worry about money
God would repay you, you always said
I never knew another man like you
Far better than I ever was
I miss you my brother
I will see you again in heaven
It will not be many more years now
Matt

- Comment from author about the poem: Mark was among the finest men I ever knew. Before I became a Christian, I was in the Marines. I believed many men needed killing. I became a Christian and saw you as a great example of Christ's love for others. It caused me to change my heart and thinking. I look at men now as people who need God's love in Jesus. No man is my enemy now. I really mean that sentence. I believe many men need forgiveness.

This is a beautiful tribute to your brother,
Thank you for your service
thank you Blue. I was reading here about another one's loss of family. It made me think of Mark.
A sensitive write M.
