Love Poem: The Brother Who Gave

The Brother Who Gave


He is the brother who gave
What did he give you ask
The gift he gave,
the life of his mother he helped save

He had a pair,
and he parted with one
Again, his mother's life
he helped spare
He was a most generous son

Oh yes, God put it in his heart
to do this pure and noble thing
Making yourself half a person,
makes your soul whole and clean

As a boy, he had a dream,
it was a powerful premonition
Are you kidding me, a kidney?
When it came to pass, we thanked God
for giving our brother this vision

He is the brother who gave
What did he give you ask
The gift he gave,
the life of his mother he helped save

He had a pair,
and he parted with one
Again, his mother's life
he helped spare
He was a most loving son
