I wrote this in memory of my baby brother Michael Anthony Kappel who suddenly and unexpectedly left me last year on November 1, 2022. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and wish I could be out there flying in the wind with him. RIP my dearest friend and baby brother. I love you and always will.
I already missed the hell out of you... NOW I have no choice but to keep missing you. I love you!
Pass Me Bye Bye
Fly high; fly free!
Soar above the clouds in me.
Be light but feel full.
No more fights; no more duel..
But memories of you make my soul sing.
Joyful moments of fun and laughter.
All the crazy moments and all that came after.
I will cherish all of our memories of times together.
They will stay in my heart and mind forever and ever.
Nothing will make me forget you....
One day I hope to be with you again too.
Until then I know it will be the hardest thing I do.
Tears fall at your grave; knowing I'm leaving without you.
As I walk away it brings sadness to my heart.
Because this is the only thing that I feared; the moment we would part.
I get to walk away but you're the one getting to go home.
I wish I could have seen your wings the moment they've grown.
To see you fly so high and free the first time that you've flown.
But I know you're here watching me as I now walk alone.
It's so hard when I'm not sure which of us is left behind.
Let your smile be in my heart as I will always try to find.
Just know how much I adored you;
I loved you so much it's true.
It seems that now I die, though you're being buried in the ground.
You have a grave; surrounding me, my pain has created a mound.
From fights that never came to an end;
never thought this would happen.
Unfinished talks, unfulfilled promises, or Apologies left unsaid.
All the times I made you sad or you made me see red.
Free me from all my thoughts that hold me tied and bound.
Help me untangle all my regrets that I've recently found.
Help the pain subside and relieve itself with time.
Stay with me, comfort me, and ease my troubled mind.
Wipe away my sorrowful tears throughout the rest of my years.
Send me a sign
Of some kind
That you're found the place you've hoped to find.
And as the years pass me by, help my thoughts unwind.
