I once lost a brother
Who was ever so frail
Standing flimsy on his feet
He decidedly pursued his trail
Set upon a journey
To unleash misused potential
All smiles along the way
Learning all things essential
Charming and unsteady
Like a tentative piece of jazz
But enough to gain him his place
With earnestness and pizzazz
He eventually fell in love
With someone so eager and assured
That all his needs were replenished
Till needs there were no more
His hesitant spirit
Did pause briefly to reflect
Upon the life he was choosing
And everything he would neglect
His frailty let him know
That he shouldn’t care
About things unsolved and undone
Things that stubbornly remained there
(As he was on his way
For something bold and merry)
Though never admitting
How it could be so scary
To feel alone in his love
And to move away from the shore
So this is how I lost a brother
Who was ever so unsure
Who drifted away unsoundly
Following erratic commands
To an unknown destination
Of overpowering demands
On which he lost himself
Frail
Like always.
