A Letter Just For You

My brothers and my sisters, to you I send my love.
It’s sealed air tight and kissed good night, descending from above. 

I wish for all your lifetime, you’ll never feel my pain.
I hope instead, you spread good will and only joy will reign. 

We’ve seen too many sorrows and lost too many fights,
So surrender all your weapons and turn on all the lights.

Expose the secret darkness, that’s buried deep within.
Share your truth with peaceful hearts and brotherhood can win. 

For though you may not see it, I promise this is true,
In your core, you know my name, for brother, I am you.
