To My Brother Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
To My Brother
We are the fruits
Of two diverse merged trees
Adhered to a single branch
And joined by the same roots
That keep us fixed and united.
We shared life's ups and downs
Keeper of each other's childhood memories
And dreams
Rejoice in each other's talents
And gifts
The golden cords
For each other's life.
Side by side
We stood
The tests of life
That even the biggest storm
Cannot knock us down.
We both rowed
Our respective boats
To different destinations
But we always meet
At the end of the sail
Our common anchor
Our family.
Every now and then
We played our favorite game
The game of chess
To check on each other's strengths
And weaknesses.
We are glued
On each other's life
For our love and care
For each other
Knows no end.

We both rowed Our respective boats To different destinations But we always meet At the end of the sail Our common anchor Our family.........so touching and impressive.Beautiful poem that entangles me for second reading.
(cont.) ...BUT, as a composition/poem, and as a tribute? to your sibling relationship, i think this is a delightful poem. you are lucky sister and brother if it is true! to MyPoemList. bri ;)
i've a few small suggestions but shan't bother mentioning most; ok, not a lot i have! ! you are the second PH friend whose poem i've read today, who seemed to be using boats which could be sailed AND rowed or paddled. I've heard that Greek? war ships had rowers for when the wind was not cooperating with the sails, but normally i'd row a rowboat, paddle a canoe, and sail a sailboat. verb tenses maybe could be more uniform also.

We are glued On each other's life For our love and care For each other Knows no end..........beautiful family full of love. It is a great tribute to your brother. Thanks for sharing.
