Dear brother of mine

     Dear brother of mine,
as lost as you are I want you
to know you are loved. You
are missed by all the family
including those in denial.

      Dear brother of mine
please tell me that you love us
even in our trying times and
hope only the best for us all.

      Dear brother of mine
please entertain my mind for
a short time by explaining
why I am still waiting
for your knocking?

      Oh bother, dear brother.
I do so hope somehow, someday
I get to hug you and welcome
you once more into family.

      So dear brother of mine,
why does it take so long? Why
can't we wave, talk? Why
are you not inside a familiar
loop?

       Oh, dear me, I am so
selfish. Please, please hurry home,
       dear brother of mine.
