My Brother, My Light

You have sought favour all your life,
Working through seasons of strain and storm,
Yet still, you greet each dawn with a smile,
Finding sparks of laughter in the shadows.

Your face is a sight I never tire of,
For your nearness fills my heart with light.
How I wish I could lift your burdens,
And scatter your pain to the wind—
But you are flesh and truth, not a fleeting shadow.

Brother, you are my compass, my strength,
The quiet force that shapes my days.
Your presence lingers on me
As a balm to my spirit
For your touch upon my heart
Is gentler, yet greater, than drops of dew

You, my brother, are my steadfast inspiration;
My teammate and push to success
