My Brothers Keeper

I enter this poem in recognition of the fine spirit we all know here as Bluessadmood,In him I see our best character OUR FINEST HOUR! Thank you

Our friend Bluessadmood

Who is the happier of us

one that shines within all others sight

Is he the man who attends his ways

to then walk among us by this light

 

For oh the pains this life lays on us

then ask that we should ever prevail

To wish to live a long and fruitful time

account for ourselves and tell the tale

 

Spare us this we might be forgotten

tempted more than once we will endure

In us live the dreams of ancestors

of some noble conscience I am sure

 

Is it not our generous spirit

to that our nature’s highest dower

Ambling now it holds fast our heart

to rescue us in our finest hour

 

So help yourself to the least of us

help them pick up and carry the wares

Only then can we ask for ourselves

to find another who really cares

 

As every rock and tree bears witness

with him walks no company despair

He is the man we all wish to be

the moral being within his care

Author's Note

I write this tonight with a friend in mind.I dedicate it to the indomitable spirit we all know here as Bluessadmood .For in him I see our finest hour. Blue is a doctor in Iraq. The horrors he has seen would make us flinch. Yet he still has a upbeat attitude and should be commended .

ohh my friend Tate,really i dont know what say..words just wont tell how i feel
three years i have been here on the cafe..yes..with my lots of knowledge about literature
and the deep love i feel for it ,it was my life..yes i helped a lot around here
i helped so many..i spent long nights reviewing others and trying to find the best
and try make them known to all..i loved this place so i wanted it to be filled with some wonderful talents
really at times i felt it was home..i even wrote about it..this place and so many faces here fill me with joy and pride
as i read their great talent..in short i really got addicted to logging on to here
i just could not stay away..
by the way i hope no one gets frightened by the foto..ha ha
it was taken when the lights at home were out as most of the time
we dont have electricity..and most my writings and reviews
i did on a candle light..still i am so happy i did.blues

Blue the cafe has taken new interest in you . I hope it renews your faith in mankind .

I see I may be guilty of a gross misjudgement. Perhaps it's time I go back and revisit this gentleman, whom once, long ago I dismissed...A valuable lesson delivered in this poem, that first impressions are nearly never either right, or lasting. Thanks, Tate

This speaks a fine truth, an essential connection, the finest hour. Well done.

As every rock and tree bears witness

That is my favorite part! This is such a beautiful poem and the Bob Dylan in the background added a lot to it. :) Great job, Tate!

great work like always. I have learned in time to not complain and to not think unpostitve I have over come a lot of the hardships in my life and i look at life as a blessing i have always felt life is a blessing but when i struggled it was hard even when i thought it was a blessing but we all over come it and Conquor that Goal in life and i always thank god for today the blessings life The family and friends hes Brought into my life they are amazing on line and off line and for the work he's doing and has done he is always at work And i seem to be much more content in my life then i have ever been but this does make me think of how i struggled and was so hard to think postive in my life i have over come this and i have more control over my emotions and anger. I struggled with my pains and i can Finely Say no one nore the devil nothing can have my Joy i share it with others a hello or a friendly wave or a good morning never Let any one take your Joy specially if they want to bring you down smile say hello Give a stranger a hug.
