"BROTHER" - about dying, and having lived fully

Still you lie
With enigmatic smile
A whisper away
A universe apart
Your family bereaved
Inconsolable

Generous heart
Made a mark
Playful prince
Missed by friends
Husband, father
Cheated by time
Favourite son
Who blames a mother?

Brother
I never got to know
Till late in the day
Night came too soon
But rest well
And God bless
My brother
