 I really don't like you, you know Most times I couldn't really care less I don't need you around I am getting along fine by myself We talk now and again And that's just fine by me We don't have really anything in common Well, just the one thing And for that reason, and that alone I protected you against the storms I held you when times were hard to bear I would walk with you when you were scared And you needed a hand to hold. We must have been quite the pair, you and I I was bigger and stronger I could see the admiration in your eyes Even though I didn't know it then You needed to be where I was When I didn't want you around But when I saw my kids sitting side by side Watching the waves The older protecting the little one I realized as if I had known all the time That you are my brother And I loved you then as I do now ********************************************** Well, I'm not sure if it makes Tara's Challenge, however, I gave it a shot. Imagine all the People living life in peace... |

Bradly, I don't know either, since I haven't seen it yet, but I do know I like this poem, regardless of a challenge. Very touching, indeed, and the picture is perfect for the theme. Enjoyed, hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Ringo - I don't know about the challenge but this hit a soft spot. I lost my younger brother a few years ago, and this brought back a lot. Thank you... BC |

Ringo, I don't know about the challenge, either, but I sure do like this poem. I only have one brother, no sisters. This reminded me of him. Thank you. Hugs, Ethel  (I need to go check out the challenge.)  |
