Brotherhood

a poem dedicated to all one of the strongest but least talked about relationships

I sat wondering if I shall ever be able to say

Words came to my rescue, keeping awkwardness at bay

 

My ‘bhaiya’ is whom these lines are dedicated to

Cause to be blessed with a brother like him are very few

 

Care or concern he never explicitly shows

Yet my success elicits from him the distinct glow

 

He is my ideal in many a ways

For his spendthrift brother he often pays

 

Whatever happens, he'll stand up for me any day

Ensuring that off harm's way I somehow stay

 

What resists the tides of time are the ties of brotherhood

Your  ‘tamo’  believes in it ‘bhaiya’ and always would .

Author's Note

'bhaiya' is how we refer to our elder brother here in India . 'tamo' is a pet name which my brother has given me.

the bond beautifully defined~ =)~

Family is the best days of a life. It is sad we allow life and separation to keep brothers from good conversation and time spend together. I enjoyed the positive and strong poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

Masterful piece. In this situation I am the bhaiya and I can only hope to play that role as well as your brother has

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a great way to let your brother know how special he is to you.
