Two Brothers Poem by Joshua Hillard

We begin as an individual,
And evolve as a family.
Always will they hold your heart,
Never changing your anatomy.

I close my eyes,
As memories flash by.
People ask if you’d ever change this,
And I reply in as to why?

My past defines me,
Whether I suffer or smile.
But in each of every one,
We’ve always had a unique style.

Commonly we shared a lot,
Besides the greatest mother.
Through our pain and happiness,
We’ve watched over each other.

Distance can change so much,
Silence can sound like death.
But as long as this heart beats,
We’ll share every breath.

Time will never change this bond,
This loyalty in a single heart.
We may live only to die,
But even that won’t tear it apart.

Memory is an elapse of time,
Every second is a memory.
We were born to raise hell together,
Yet together, the feeling is heavenly.

Don’t ever think you’ll fade,
Appearance is only a mirage.
A reflection we visualize,
An idea we’ll always dodge.

Of course we’ll always be followed,
Death will always be lurking.
But until the end of this world,
We will never be hurting.

A testimonial dedication,
Of our true inner loom.
Though time stretches further,
We will be together soon.

I speak of you both,
As you made life insufferable.
A blanket of love and protection,
Life has never been so comfortable.

Until we close, we’ll always ride,
So siblings, thank all your mothers.
Because of the mother of mine,
I have the two world’s greatest brothers…
