A Brothers Dispair

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A mothers son was taken away, To live with Grand Parents not that far away. Im sure it must have been a hard thing to do, To know you have a son that cant live with you. Im not to sure i could be that strong, To go through life and not reclaiming your son. I know the reasons must have been hard to undestand, By this young man, trying to comprehand. As one of his brothers, it took me twenty_four years, To know we were related, to try and understand his fears That he must have went through every day as a child. Not known his parents, not hearing thier call. But through all of this, he has grown up proud and strong, Never once condeming, but excepted what went wrong. To me that shows character,thats above and beyond, I know in my moms heart, she had reclaimed her son. For it was in tear filled eyes she told me one day, George is your brother, but she could never say. She told me she loved him in a very special way, And that she was sorry it took so long for this day.
