Seven Brothers Poem by Matt Mondschein

Were we made week by time and fate?
Controversy, we did create
Just a tune, for you to sing
This black sheep brothers message
I now must bring

The courage to change
Your mind, body and soul
Remember, my Christmas gift
Many years ago
A penny, muddy boot
And a bucket of coal

Keep your paths straight
As I try, with no regret
Still keeping the cockiness
You'll never forget

Here's a promise
For you seven, to inhale
I'll love you forever
Your brother
With the cleaning pail
