Conversation With a Brother.....

Believing himself to be a bit shallow
reminder to him.....better than hollow
evenstill,there are some who're left fallow
unfortunate beginning,for those in sorrow

But,being half-full is better than empty
a moments cause...a personal preempting
water of life,a part of our surroundings
like a sponge,we just have to do the absorbing

A dim lit flame awaiting more fuel
within' is where we find all the tools
otherwise,toil,like a bumbling fool
life is a playground,but also our school

Hollow to shallow.....partly to wholly
in time,for all to experience fully.......
