Air, Fire, Water Earth
A family of elements that combine
In a sharing of hearts and minds
Intellect ruled us through my father
Hard work protected us through my mother
I had heart and my sister strength
We did our best to be our best
And yes the missing one is my brother
He is not so easy to define
Born on the cusp he has two sides
I wish that life had been kind to us
But it was not and left its bruises
Yet even so each survives
And finds some pleasure in living life
When we are together we share a bond
Of knowing each other, right and wrong
And now even though I am far away
I remember them and I pray
For their safety and continued growth
The ones I have cared for and still love most.
