Roses and Life

A rose is a rose
Unless you look at it closely
And discover its soul
See it's deepest fears
And learn its love of life
Then when you learn that
You see
The beauty of life...
It's like a rainbow...
Beautiful
Yet you can't understand
How it works
And yet you do somehow...
Alas,
Isn't a rose
Just simply a rose?

A Tribute to a Brother

To tribute to your kindness
In words is not enough
To tell of your caring
For me and others is wasting time
To a dear brother of mine
To bridge a gap so wide
As to let me into your heart
When I don’t even know mine

This tribute to you
My brother
My friend
My family
In love you conquer hate
And within these ugly times
You conquer them with beauty
This tribute to my brother ends
But always will remain true
