Poem Commentary

Written for my big brother, Mitchell.

Brother

 

A man I barely know. Looking at you

is to look in a mirror almost.

Same father. Different mother.

Yet brothers.

 

My brother who lives across the sea.

I wish that I could change our destinies.

I often wish so many things.

 

To turn back time and change our pasts.

So that you might be at my side.

I wonder if you wish for that too.

Somewhere deep inside.

 

Your face is strong. Jaw like rock.

Countenance just like dad.

Come to think of it we look the same.

You incorrigible, handsome lad.

 

I miss you and pray that you are well.

Keeping you in my thoughts.

Always....

Thank you so very much. I am glad that I was turned on to this site where I can touch peoples hearts with my writing. And i sincerely appreciate all comments.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
