TO BE A BROTHER TO BE A SISTER

Thomas J. Dooley

To be a brother is to be there

To help those weak become strong

To be a sister is to be near

To ease the fear

To be a brother is to be a wall

To hold community emotions back

To be a sister is to lead

To inspire families to move forward

To be a brother is to be loud

To be a voice for those who don't know their own choice

To be a sister is to show passion

To stand up against the so-called bastards

To be a brother is to show a strong hand

To pull those up who fallen through the cracks

To be a sister is to protect the new life

To provide nourishment for the body and mind

So let be human and lift up a community

Good Morning THOMAS - ANGEL HERE - Thanks for a very uplifting Poem for Sunday Morning ! Having been married for over two Months we can see more clearly now the different attributes YIN (Female) & YANG (Male) bring to the Table ! Betwen us Brian & I can supply all thos need you mention ! So often the visiting is left to the Ladies ! Brian & I will be out DOORSTEP visiting some elderly (70+) Church Members today - singing with them and praying for them and sharing Kafe und Kuken bei Zwei Meteren ! They ofen remark *How nice it is to be visited by a COUPLE* Many are widows and enjoy the Sound of a mans voice ~ AMEN.

Blessing & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey !
Please check our site ~ Thanks A & B !
