My Brother Poem by alex sarich

Brother, I don't know how I'd cope in life

without you, this world and all the strife

my friend, you are true, in my heart

each day a challenge not knowing where to start.

I beckon you in brotherhood, you never let me down

even in sorrow and pain, there's laughter or even a frown

I hold you in high esteem that's what you deserve

we have this special bond that I will preserve.

Amid all life's trials and traumas you never wane

with aura second to none, a link to the chain

a cherished soul to me, a mellowed calm inside

that won't diminish as long as you're by my side.
