tim's Bits and Pieces - 60. Brotherhood

Excellent pieces of writing, very powerful words. Brotherhood and duty, things that are needed regardless of our race, colour and gender. Thanks for this tim x

I have to echo Mike, particularly concerning the second poem. In addition to what he said about duty to others, there's something that pulls with an immense gravity when I meet another veteran or active member of the military or the police. There's an unspoken recognition of one another, and of the vows/oaths we took. It is hard to describe, and that's the best I've got.

Great poems, tim.

Beautiful poems. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Two wonderful pieces. The first, the brotherhood of the human race … we need to see we are one race, no matter our colour or gender.

The second … what men, people, who serve feel is hard to describe. There is a sense of duty, not only to yourself, but to all. There is a need to protect and stand for and maybe die for that duty. Most are prepared to do that. 

But yes, there is a special place for my brothers in arms. 

Thank you, Michael.

Thanks Wayne... i just listen to these veterans.. like the guys from Easy Company.. every year they see each other.. but they have this connection. They still cry over their friends who died ... it's an amazing and beautiful thing. xo
