Sweet the Greet

For My Billy-Bro, Who Endured a Difficult Journey
For decades he lived on the street with no bed or food in cold and heat. My bro was the first break in my heart. He went thru all bi-polar can impart. I prayed God would unite us one day. In time, ill-health and age made way for a united residing under my roof. For three years we lived sibling truth. God answered my prayer complete; in sight, then hugs ... sweet was the greet!

Jenish: Thank you for your time and energy as focused on Soup members via your contest. I hope you enjoyed the contest process from a sponsor's pov (I've never felt brave enough!). You gave me an opportunity to pen on a very emotional subject - my brother, and now that the contest is finalized, I shall dedicate the poem to him. Be safe and positively centered ... CayCay
