A Brother Like No Other
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

Sometimes I sit and wonder

About the blessings offered me

There is a special person

Who comes to mind quite naturally

 

When I witness his devotion

I still marvel endlessly

You see in spite of who I've been

He stands by me steadfastly

 

I have teased him without mercy

I've taunted him relentlessly

I have embarrassed him so many times

Without apology

 

There are times I've been ungrateful

There are times that I've been cruel

There are times I've been insensitive

There are times I've been a fool

 

But despite my indiscretions

Despite what circumstances say

When I call on him for help

He will always find a way

 

He will engage me with his humor

When it's time for us to play

He can uplift dismal spirits

With the things he's prone to say

 

He will listen without judgment

To anything I have to say

He will listen with compassion

When things have not gone my way

 

He will counsel me with love

When it seems I've lost my way

He will call on me to fight

When defeat seems to block my way

 

He will defend me when I stumble

When life brings me to my knees

He will stand with me despite the odds

In the face of enemies

 

He will always cheer me on

To accomplish another victory

He will never sell me out

Only greatness he sees in me

  

A brother like no other

He has always been for me

A brother like no other

That is what he'll always be
