Please Listen, Brother…


 


 


You say you’re my brother...


Yet pretend I’m not there...


You shut me out of your life...


And you tell others you care...


 


I don’t quite “fit the mold”


of what you think a brother should be...


 Thinking so much of yourself,


 and alot less of me.


 


I tried to call you, and you


 hung up the phone,


Then tell me I’m not invited


 to visit your home.


 


You hypocrite!  You fool! 


Who are you kidding?


You’re no representation of


Jesus by the way you’re living.


 


The Bible says love is patient,


 gentle and kind.


You can’t love just the 99....


And leave me behind!


 


If you continue to “choose


 whom you’ll love and who’ll you avoid.


Then true Godly love in your


 life will never be enjoyed.


 


By thinking and dwelling on


 that which was done In the past,


You’ll miss out on freedom


 in Christ that will always last!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
