A brother like you

Each day you came home,
A smile would form across my face,
I knew you were safe.

Although my nerves were not obvious,
My feelings for you are true.

You did not mean to disrupt the family,
And let me tell you that was something you did not do.

We are glad you are back to the person you use to be.

We know it's not over,
But you are trying your best.

I don't know what this problem must be like for you.
But I can tell you,
I'm glad I have a brother like you.

Life seems to be a very long book,
And this is just another chapter.

So put the past behind you,
And let the love from this family guide you.

Adam, you are a part of this strong standing family.


Love always
Luke.

A very heartfelt poem. It reminded me of my own brother and the times we spent together. Loved these lines

I feel like you peeked into my heart at the feelings for MY brother who has
to "put the past behind you (him),
And let the love from this family guide you(him)...
