    Poem Commentary

    Dedicated to my twin brother Brett. We will always be family no matter how far apart we be. I love you bro.

    I left My Heart In Indiana, But left a Home In Texas

     Is it coincedence that our hearts crossed on poetry's path
    love was carrying the flame, but was it meant to last
    Old memories restored upon the winter's cold
    I've found a new passion watching stories unfold
    I grew up in Indiana thirty years ago
    moved to Texas when I was twelve years old
    I left a home down south, but my hearts in Indiana
    lived with my mom and stepdad from Alabama
    When I came back To Indiana I was eighteen
    got me a job and started checking out the scene
    Started young playing basketball in the drive
    a twin brother competetive and so alive
    We did most everything we could together
    our heart joined by love that would last forever
    A sad day came when we went our ways
    I was 18 years old, it was time for a change
    I was an original hoosier , born here and raised
    at the ripe age of 18 started taking to the page
    Put the pen into action and began writing
    sometimes struggling with words in my mind fighting
    I would write about love and two hearts united
    I wrote about my brother and God whom I'd invited
    years ago to dwell in a loving heart
    brother I love you though we are miles apart
    I remember how it was from the start
    We shared poetry, it was our gifted art
    Love can never change what we have brother
    I know I left Texas, but home is in another
    state, Indiana is where I grew to know
    everything in life that my mom and dad came to show
    Brother you are always on my mind
    I can connect with you on the phone line
    anytime I want to chat, I can pick up the phone
    and for those thirty minutes we chat, I'm not alone
    I have you on the other end, my longtime friend
    thirty years we have shared hearts, I hold your love within
    You are special, love is like a star in your eyes  
    it burns bright, I know you always realized
    how much we need each other
    I'm so thankful to have you as my brother

    one little thing you might add is but "my" home is in another rather then; just but home is in another. might add to the flow more. Great write and honor to your brother though. well done. -Tonya
