Poem For a Brother
I saw you today, so fragile and alone,
In the hail and the stones,
But still standing tall
Though lost and forlorn,
With parts of You,
Tattered and torn.
Yet Quiet and present
In the center of the storm,
You touched me today
And I just want to say:
I see you and understand,
You’re such a courageous Man
To give your games a name
And not go away,
But stay
With what is,
Means for me
That you are more than just ok.
And shows your deep grit
So don’t be ashamed
For you can be proud of how you commit
To grow - and permit
Others to see your doubts and pain.
I have deep respect for you
And know what you’re going through
Because I’ve been there too.
I’m a little bit older
So I know:
Every “so called” mistake and failure
Has just made me stronger and bolder.
And from one old soldier
To another
And brother from another Mother,
And from one who cares:
I’ll be there,
No need to hide,
I’m happy to stand by your side
Or to listen and understand,
Or just to hold your hand
And give You my back to lean on
Or a shoulder to cry on,
Or just to share a silent space
With You.
And I will always have a special place
Just for you, here
In my heart.
