The Three Brothers

By Tegs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I know of three brothers.The first is the oldest, and will be there forever.We all look back to him for advice now and again,and can always rely on him being there for us.The second is full of hope, and dreams.You can not see him, for when you step back to view him,he disapeers and becomes the first. Number three has not yet been born, and may not be at all.It is up to us, to see that he will live.To create an environment in which he is safe.Without the first we could not learn, without the second we could not be, without the third, we can have no hope.
