You are a loving brother Who cares about family ways We spent 19 years apart Separated by miles and jobs. I left for the military right out of high school From there I traveled across the USA God had his plans in mind when this occured We both have had our troubles in the past Now we are close by each other at last. Our lives have seen good times and bad At times we both have been sad Now that you are home at last We can forget about the past. I write this poem for you today To show you how I feel It is my way to say Having you as a brother is a wonderful deal. Cathy Bohannan Cathy Marie Bohannan |

Cathy, what a wonderful gift for your brother, truly is wonderful. You have written this so lovingly and well, and you have done a fine job. And I must say he deserves a tribute, however one from his sister has got to be the height of love. Beautifully presented and such a great write. Congratulations on having such talent to write and on having someone worth writing about. I've only got sisters, and I would have many times swapped them for a brother. (Besides a brother wouldn't have nicked my make up, clothes and anything else that wasn't nailed down. Well he might I suppose, but it's unlikely!) Take care Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Cathy, this is a wonderful piece to write about the caring and sharing that children who have seen bad times can band together and be there for each other. so very kind of you to share this with us...

no one here would question that Mark's a great guy - and with this poem - we've now established that his sister is great too - as a sister and as a poet. |
