Thomas Flood Poet I do not know?

Family

Family 
Brother can you please tell me
What has been my crime 
Because we don’t seem to talk no more 
And we’re both running out of time 

Brother can you tell me 
Do you remember when we were young 
 Sure, we had our share of arguments 
But mostly we had lots of fun

Brother can you tell me 
If you remember how this started 
Because we really need to fix this 
Before our spirits have departed 

Brother can I you tell you 
If I were in trouble, I feel you’d answer my call 
Because I still believe that family trumps 
The biggest arguments of all

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed. Thomas Flood April 28, 2024 at 11:54 AM thank you for your kind comments Beata

David Smith March 18, 2024 at 10:04 AM Not sure if abut your brother but agree with sentiment. but time is the enemy and human pride in case of family estrangement. My half brother never could reconcile with his sister. I along with my brother and sister tried to facilitate, but to no avail. Our half sister has since passed away. That is why I give thanks daily that or three children all still talk to us and each other. from a poetry perspective you have showcased your talent. I hope it gets read often. Best regards David in NZ Thomas Flood March 18, 2024 at 11:37 AM thank you for your kind comment David . I come from a very large family and luckily get along with my siblings . we should all be so lucky.
