I have not failed, I just found 10,000 ways to not succeed.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.


These memories we shared,
The ones throughout the years;
We always were paired
To defend each other's fears.

But now you are gone,
Leaving nothing but your soul.
What was a special bond,
Now is an empty hole.

I don't think no one
Can understand why
What we called fun,
Now makes me cry.

And now, looking back
On those loving days,
I know now I lack
The friendship we had made.

So I'll instead say goodbye
To my old beloved friend,
As time floats gently by
I'll see you when mine ends.

This is poem is dedicated to my beloved brother, whose heart he has touched so many with. In honor of his memories, I wrote this poem. To Ian M. Fraile, who couldn't stay on earth for as long as I wanted. Enjoy.

Rest in peace. This really can make one shed a tear or two. Anyway, I agree with 12Rocker702

Life is like a chocolate covered chilly....

Some succeed because they're destined to;
Most succeed because they're determined too

Its really nice.... the rhyming scheme sounds good too.

To clarify my brothers name is Ian M. Fraile, auto-correct messed it up.

Very touching. I feel the emotions coursing through each line. You make me shiver with sadness. I can feel the love for your brother. @Joz3ph_4
