Brother-Sonnetina Rispetto

Brother, you who holds the candle Like an easy task to handle                    Never look for any credit  So you are an unsung hero Stoic you show no pain, zero. As the eldest you just do it. Brother, you who holds the candle Like an easy task to handle. You always hold your head up high Sacrifice without sound or sigh Never look for any credit             As the eldest you just do it. Brother, you who holds the candle            Like an easy task to handle. 24~10~2014 Sponsor: Dr.Ram Mehta Contest Name: Sonnetina Rispetto

Maurice, I like how you did a true "rispetto" that honors someone. That is what this form should be used for. If your brother is the one holding the candle and doing so much, OMG, he must be a saint , because I already think YOU are the stoic one in your family!!
