My brother- life itself

Your success speaks

of many routes and roots.
And the price paid

In many places

Of names lost

And renamed

Of tears shed

And dreams 

Imagined joy

Lights at the end 

of endless tunnels

That shone in minds 

and hearts

Today, 

dear brother

Your name: Life itself

Shines for many

As do you

Everyday I have rejoiced 

this summer

To see that name 

glowing there

The board, the people 

and I

Have waited long for this day!

(Dedicated to J, my brother)
