Foolishness

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin

of little minds adored by little statesmen

and philosophers and divines.”

~Emerson

Today I Lost a Friend

Today I lost a friend,

I don’t know why.

 

Today I lost a brother,

I don’t know why.

 

My heart bled for him,

I don’t know why.

 

There is so much hatred in his life,

I don’t know why.

 

I see the Love he can offer,

Which many can’t.

 

One thing is for certain,

I do know why.

 

I will continue to Love him,

I do know why.

 

He is my brother,

I do know why.

 

He is my friend,

I do know why.

 

We are one in the same.
