Teaching, Coaching, Living

I’ m in complete denial

I don’t accept that this is true

My brother is alive and breathing

Teaching, coaching, living … like we all do

I see his bright smile,

I see his mischievous grin

I see him pump his players up

I see him shout out as they win

I see him at the playground

Backpack full of snacks

I see him call for Annalise

I see Frankie on his back

I hear his voice so clearly

I hear him call my name

I hear him say “Gwee Kim… what do you want to do today?”

I feel his body hug me

I feel his arms as we dance

I smell his tree tea oil

I see his powerful stance

He is so alive to me

So vivid in my mind

I see all of his mannerisms

I see him being kind

I see him walk through the door

Big bins full of toys

I see him make a martini and then have a cigar with my dad & the boys

I see him dance the Cha-Cha slide and then read the kids a book

I see Annalise and Frankie sitting on his lap giving him a loving look

I hear him tell me loves me and he admires who I am

I see him goof with Anthony, his brother and best friend

I hear him tell his stories always followed by a laugh

I see his scar he got from a branch that was in his path

I see his car in front of my house whenever I drive down the street

I see his excitement when Lauren and I finally got to meet

I’ m in complete denial

I don’t accept that this is true

My brother is alive and breathing

Teaching, coaching, living … like we all do
