Two Roads, a poem for my brother
My brother is a good man. He's the type of man ,most boys want to grow up and be like. He's hard working and caring, he's kind but firm. He loves his wife and kids, and thinks always of them first, "Red" has always struggled to be the kind of man he is. He refused to stay out all night when there was work to do in the morning, no matter how much I begged him to stay. He never got into drugs and the party scene. Hell, I dont think he's slept with more than five women his whole life. Red is a good man. I want to write for him tonight.


    -Two Roads-

Two roads I had to choose from
all those years ago,
do this line in front of me
or simply tell him no.
Sometimes we take the wrong road
and get lost along the way
with noone there to guide us
we let darkness take away the pain.
And sometimes there is a light
that flashes and suddenly I can see
that if I'd only cried out
then you would have reached out to save me.
We are two roads dear brother
and I'm tired of mine being blind.
Your path has been much tougher
but you never lost your sight.
I'm proud of the road you've chosen
I wish I could find my own way,
but sometimes I just wont listen.
That's why there's always two roads to stray.


For you Brandon, thank you for being strong. Thank you for showing me what being a man is. I love you "little brother".

the good news is these two roads will meet again. life is nothing but choices, and we learn from each road we choose. you are by no means lesser, and when you get there you could be proud of the fact that you choose this mountain and climbed it safely.
ramble on...

WOW! Youre such a lucky man to have a great brother like that! But dont shoot yourself down! Im certain he loves you just as much, if not more! I have no brothers, but if I did, Id want them/him to be like either or both of you!! Ha ha!
