Notes About The Poem

This is a poem for my brother who took his life Because of depression. Some times you cannot see what's in front of you.

My brother

You asked me for my help
But I did not understand.

You reached out for my help
But I did not take your hand.

You wrote you needed help
But I did not read your letter.

You told me you were sick
But I did nothing to make it better.

You asked me for my help
But I made you wait.

By the time I was ready to help
You were gone I was to late.
