              HELP
       By ... Steve Lucky

A man called his brother for help.
There seemed to be nothing either could do.
Although neither of them was a whelp,
The problems were enormous too.
Money though scarce was not the main issue.
Emotional problems it never could solve.
Some things required more than just tissue
When other people it would involve.
The older brother agreed to help out
With rewards not seen in a tangible way.
A kind word or two was all that was needed
For the younger brother to get through the day.
Contact between the two brothers continued
Just like they had done in the past
Neither of them would ever begin rude.
They had a relationship they knew would last.
When the whole world seems to be against you,
It is good to have a friend,
Relative, neighbor, or constant companion,
Who you know will be there right to the end.
