Thank you brother,
you have seen my tears,
when I dropped them,
brother, you caught every one.
You came to hold me,
to tell me it was not my fault,
to remind me that I was salt;
I give flavor for the earth.
Thank you brother,
for keeping faith in me,
that faith has lifted me high,
high enough to see.
You showed me that
anger was not the way,
instead love could get
us by each and everyday.
Thank you brother,
you peaked under my mask,
you helped me
to peel it away.
you were gental, and loveing,
you never were my judge,
brother you never made me
climb that witness stand.
Thank you brother,
for teaching me about the Lord,
when I told that my faith had faultered,
you turned and said to me:
"When was the last time you truly prayed?
Go home, please, just pray,
get on your knees, God is there,
what is more God is here."
Brother all the things
you taught me are to numerous to tell,
so I shall just say thank you,
brother, I love you.

this poem is very sweet and touching
i think everybody looses sight of god sometimes but if we are lucky enough t o find Him again or have somebody show us the path to him that our lives become full again
Because i don't think you can love truely love unless you beleive in God -
This poem is sooooo lovely! When you 'brother' do you mean a literal brother or someone who is close to you? I took it that it is someone who is close to you - who helped you through all the bad times, made you have faith again! It's amazing when you find someone who knows you that well and can help through your bad times and notices when you're down!
Good penning - i love your work!
