Can you hear him?

Dear God,
there's a boy in my life
and he needs your help.
he really, really does.
hes not just anyone.
hes my brother
I don't know why you made him this way
but you did it for a reason.
I dread the next day, and the day after that.
I don't know what will become of him.
can you see him, hear the way he screams to be let out of his world,
can you feel his pain?
I've done all that i can do myself.
tears are filling my eyes, as I watch him sleep.
I need to be strong,
for my family, my mother.
take this fear away from him, from us.
what would I be if he wasn't in my life?
i wonder about the boy he would've been
can you hear me?
amen

This poem was inspired by the song "He's my son" by Mark Schultz... it made me think of my brother
