GOODBYE BROTHER.
I WILL MISS YOU SO,
REMEMBERING
HOW MUCH YOU BUGGED ME IN THE BEGINNING.
I WAS THIRTEEN
AND I BELIEVED YOU WERE EIGHT,
AND I HATED THE THOUGHT
OF SUDDENLY HAVING THREE BROTHERS.
IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT I HAD A NEW DAD.
BUT OVER THE YEARS,
YOU SOMEHOW TOUCHED MY HEART,
AND I BEGAN TO FEEL A PART OF A FAMILY.
I AM SO VERY SORRY NOW
THAT I NEVER REACHED OUT
TO HELP YOU IN SOME WAY
AS A GOOD CHRISTIAN SHOULD.
MY HUSBAND REMINDS ME, THOUGH,
OF THE TIME WE WERE ABLE
TO HELP THE LOCAL HOMELESS SHELTER.
I NEED TO BE MORE AWARE
OF THOSE IN NEED
AND PRAY THEY WILL GO AND KNEEL AT THE TREE
AND BE SET FREE
.
