My Brother’s Keeper



~~~

The greatest philosophy

Is to care for one another

Possessive by apostrophe

I, the keeper of my brother

~~~

In every act and deed confessed

No matter how seemingly small

Gift to others that they be blessed

So, all of us can stand more tall

~~~

What needs have I, in my life

That preclude a caring mind

Anonymity must not be the knife

That leaves humanity behind

~~~

For in every tear from an eye

Left alone, helpless and crying

Kept from falling, willing deny

A part of ourselves lies dying

~~~

We are one, though differences be

And there is the truth we discover

That is the definition of humanity

And I, the keeper of my brother

~~~

  1. Deeply touched, you are indeed a keeper and a caring one. And like a kind friend, a mentor, a big brother I never had. Like always your words melt my heart.
