Why I Love You.

by Teria   Apr 30, 2007


Your face not but a night light,
giving me peace as I sleep.
Your heart not but perfect,
setting me at ease.
Your souls meant to be
with God in heaven above.
And, your minds holding in
too much, my love.

You're running from emotions
that tend to bring you down.
You're hiding from it all,
I know because I've been there.
You're searching for what's right.
right beneath your nose.
You're losing what you need,
the further that you go.

And, though you don't know this..
It's what I felt within,
the reason that I'm telling you...
is that you're nothing but my life.
I strive to make you happy. I live
to watch you fill your dreams.
I pray each and every night,
that you realize what you mean.

And, though life gets hard at times..
I know you'll make it through.
For, you're a brother worth loving,
which is why I love you.

    I loved the flow and structure within this poem. Very nicely penned.

    The 3rd stanza 5th line, "I live" should be on the next line.

    Other than that small error, this was a great write. I enjoyed the read.

    Peace, Joe

    Aww. That was so cute! You must really love your brother! The rhyme and flow of this poem is spectacular! There's just a few typos and spelling errors but who cares! The poetry must've really been flowing! Great job!
