Brothers

By Tom Coker

Written for publication in On Eagles Wings.

Brothers together they came in sweetness and beauty
Brothers together they left in God's grace
Gifted by God with Goodness and light
their privilege, their burden
Kind in the land of the uncaring
Virtuous in the land of the ambiguous
Giving in the land of the greedy
Sighted in the land of the blind
Aware in the land of the somnolent
May God let them and our love be one forever.
