A poem for Brooke: “Our Brooke”

I never knew you, but now I do

I’m so enriched by your life, so few

I wish in all my heart, that day a detour

Yet I know in my soul, now you’re newer

Story continues below advertisement

For you it is true, that life, your dreams

Were lost, in a moment, split at its seams

But you my dear in all your glory

Shine brighter now, thanks be your love, your story

Yes we all hurt, and cry, and miss you so

But even though, we trust, we know

That soon we’ll see you, all in white, free, and bright

And in awe and wonder kiss your face, and hold you tight

For such a wonder, such a hope

Cannot be silenced, cannot be shook

Not our love, not our Brooke
