I saw them as a bother

While they tried to be a brother

Trying to get a solution

And come to a conclusion

Not for their own sake

 But for my own make

Arrogantly I wanted to give a cold shoulder

But I thought and saw them as a molder

Trying to mould this pot

 But the pot would hear not

Never more did the molder mould modestly

True in heart doing it so earnestly

Though a stone my heart

Their words did hurt

I’ll try my best

To pass the test

For she said as the days go by

I will know why

Why she so sang

And it would hit me like a bang

And I know they love me so

They have a lot of care

For why would they dare?

If they cared not

 They would let me rot

A comfort that before I could not see

They saved me from the drowning sea

My gratitude many like the stars

A puzzle that had so many gaps

Is now filled

 And I feel fulfilled
