The Lie Comments

Oh the tragic consequences of shame. I'm so glad you found him - even though it was not for long enough. At least you were able to meet him David. So sad that your sister continues to live in denial - but some don't have the courage to face the difficult truths, even though the consequence is estrangement from family. A humble, honestly penned tribute to a much loved brother. Thanks for sharing this one. love, Allie xxxx

Well, the lie was told and that can't be reversed. At least you went quickly ahead with making amends and got hold of your brother before his passing. This poem is a good lesson, to all of us, on how much pain lies can cause... even across generations. What a sad story, but you told it so well.

Thanks for this look into your life, My friend... andy

I Have to agree with Lynda here.......and you did get to meet your brother....more than most in that situation.....: O)

A very heartfelt rendering David, lies grow and grow and eat away at people, at least you got to meet your brother, Love Lynda x

A most awesome write David...Straight from your heart! Lies are never good, are they? You have made a genuine point here! I applaud it! Blessings, Theo
