An Ode To My Brother

Brother, met in vision, you taught me worth, you teach me wisdom's flow. 
Your stance, a glance reveals, to those with vision's glow. 

Brother, your worth, a boundless treasure, unseen by eyes that feign to know. 
Their glares, they fade, like fleeting shadows, from light they cannot show. 

Brother, you walk a path that seems alone, where hidden pains deeply grow. 
Yet, in your strength, your worth you hold, a strong journey's untold flow 

Brother, know we see you, those who walked through storms, though quiet we may seem, 
Our hearts see things without form, beyond a fleeting dream. 

Brother, we love you, heart to heart, a man and elder who walks his truth's art, 
Fighting quiet battles, keeping this place safe from all strife's dark start, 
Through darkest nights, to dawn's bright life, a people's hopeful part.
