Below is the poem I wrote for my brother
Jonathan, who died aged 11 1/2 weeks old from cot death.
I wrote this poem in memory of him.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF A DEAR BROTHER
Jonathan Paul Stafford
26th March 1971 - 13th June 1971
Dear Jonathan,
I did not know you, But
I feel I did.
I feel much closer to you now, Then
when I was a kid.
As I have grown older, I
have missed you more and more.
A brother to talk to, A brother to be near.
I wonder what you would be doing now.
I wonder what you would say.
But most of all, I wonder, about how you would look today.
You will always be very special to me.
Please believe me; I wish you could see,
All the things I do and all the things I achieve.
You may not be here any more.
But I know you are with me wherever I go.
Your love and spirit fills the way,
And guides me down the right hidden path.
Love from your sister Claire xxx
