Notes About The Poem

How Can I Not Believe.

Closer Than a Brother

When I was cheated,
He took my anger.

When I was hurt,
He took my pain.

When I was rejected,
He took my sadness.

When I was humiliated,
He took my shame.

When no one wanted me,
He called me Friend,

And when I fell from His Grace,
He reached down and said, 'Give Me your hand.'

I was alone,
And He called me His Child.
