BRANDON: TO THE FARM AGAIN

BRANDON: TO THE FARM AGAIN

Roger A. Davis

A man too soon
Being visited with pain
The arthritic cocoon
Our prayer: It will not sustain

For Brandon soon, someday
Will metaphorically need to bale hay
Riding the Kubota and the John Deere mower
Helping commerce like a brand new Black & Decker leaf blower
His kindness has already blown this old man away
And, in only moments, others will feel his loving sway

Of one sister, Kaitlyn, who will be twenty soon
The affliction in Brandon’s voice
Tells us, for this big brother, she is his passionate choice
She shines like the stars and the moon
I count it a blessing to advance and grow in our friendship
On this planet, God’s Spaceship
