YOU CAME FOR MY BROTHER.

YOU CAME FOR MY BROTHER.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

OLE'S YOUNGER BROTHER, NATHANIEL, EXPRESSES HOW HE FEELS ABOUT HIS BROTHER'S SUDDEN DEATH IN JANUARY 2014.

"


You  came for my brother
aged just 29, just 29.
You didn't give a reason,
you didn't give a sign.
You came for my brother,
a true good friend of mine.
I can' believe he's gone now;
it feels like such a crime.
You didn't say you're sorry
for not giving us more time.
Our brother Ole shone bright
just like the sun;
he brought joy to us all,
to each and everyone.
Even now hereafter
when we recall his infamous laughter,
the smile he would grin,
the battle of wits he'd win.
So caring and kind
such a beautiful mind.
Though I don't know where or
even when, I do know brother that
we will meet again.

Written by my son Nathaniel Collett.
