(Dedicated to my brother, Daniel T. Russ (12-25-1970 -- 04-19-2009)
One of those special rare souls that sparkled ,never limited from bringing life to the lives of others
No matter his what his limitations were.. his heart never shrunken small, no matter even if life and others in it
Tried to hide him away,make him disappear and feel like nothing at all !)All my love my Angel,Daniel. Love, your sister always,Renee`)
I have a brother who is like a star in the sky
a twinkling light
that will never die.
Some would say he has limited capacities
that keep him from enjoying a real life.
To me
He is what living [a real life] is all about.
He seems at times to know things
that limited minds are too closed to know..
If we spent more time learning from those
who by the "book" are said to be learning impaired
we'd stop a little more often to thank God
for these people with us he has lovingly shared.
Not just my brother is like that twinkling star,
people like him are all around us
we really don't have to look very far.
Van Gogh
Einstein
Joan of Arc
Edgar Allan Poe..
just to name a [famous] few.
But also so many others [not famous]
just like me and you.
I'm a lucky person to know one so dear.
My brother
A special shining light
Twinkling around me
so close, so near.
Thank you; Dan
for making the meaning of this muddy life
a little more clear.
