I once had a brother.
Yes!
A big brother who cared more than no other.
Always watching over my radar
There is nothing he couldnt do.
Unfortunately our brotherhood didnt last for long.
The world did us wrong,
For it was jealous of us.
I had sisters too
So many of them.
They loved me so much
Being their only brother.
Then they all got engaged.
And things changed.
We had a chain of weddings.
Life was never the same.
I once had my parents,
Living with me.
Life was so kind.
I loved being their child.
Time came when i had to choose,
Between staying or walking in their shoes.
So once upon a time
I had to leave home.
My childhood sun had gone down.
I later lost course because
All i treasured was gone,
leaving me alone,
To build what i had to
on my own.
Then the moon rose during my dark hour
letting all that was handover its power
I now have my life back
with a lovely wife who has my back
Apart from the extended family
I have children of my own
Like the moon among stars..
I feel its unfair to brand life unfair.
