My Brother After the War

 

My Brother after the War
My older brother
Feels like another
Since back from the war
He's not very happy any more
Ryan is always stressed
He now has a wound on his chest
He's not the same
What a shame
So I say bye
Ryan you're a new guy

 

My older brother

Since back from the war
He's not very happy any more
Ryan is always stressed
He now has a wound on his chest
He's not the same
What a shame
So I say bye
Ryan you're a new guy

My prayers go out to your brother. I was in the Navy.

I can relate to this piece, and understand how holding on to who they were can be like watching the living dead, until you find a way to say goodbye

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
