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
~~~

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.
Thank you, brother V! I was pleased to see your work again featured on SpillWords. Keep up the good work!
