My Brother:
in my darkest hour,
thou were there to shine light,
when I had fallen,
with firm grasp,
thou hast raised my calling.
My Brother:
When I had sunk in deep gloom,
thou was there with words,
when silent voice cried,
your reach did extend,
changing all the lies.
My Brother:
When iniquity filled with shame,
thou took my place,
sacrificed thy conceit,
bestowed thine honour,
washing dirt from upon thy feet.
My Brother:
How shalt thy repay,
such unpardonable debt that thine owes,
a blood's bath smothered
my Brother's love shown,
in gratitude, I humbly, acknowledge my Brother.
