An Awakening

They say the holy ghost

 

comes softly like a dove,

 

But in this special case

 

Along with all his love,

 

To me he also gave

 

a big, fat, holy shove.

 

-

 

Speaking of my brother

 

And all the love we\'d shared,

 

Trying to remind me

 

How much I really cared,

 

How in forgiving him

 

I also would be spared.

 

-

 

I saw that this was true

 

So how could I deny,

 

When after all these years

 

The scales fell from my eyes,

 

That now I see it\'s time

 

For me to sympathize.

 

-

 

Therefore I\'m reaching out

 

That\'s what love\'s all about.
