Insights of a Thoughtful Life 

Reflective thoughts, original poems and cultural commentary–posted weekly

“A weekly reflection through verse and imagery.

Original poems reflecting faith, memory, culture, and the quieter questions that shape a thoughtful life.

Somebody near you may be longing for friendship more than you know.

The BEST thing in life

Is BROTHERLY LOVE.

It comes from our MAKER—

A gift from above.

 

Brotherly love

Is wrapped in skin.

We NEED one another—

With that we will win!

 

Lonely and wanting

God’s touch from above,

Reach out to others—

Be BLESSED with God’s love!

 

Life without love

Is bleak and forlorn.

All joy is lacking—

We feel almost scorned!

 

Change your behavior—

Reach out to others.

You will be blessed

And joy will be covered!

 

Others are searching

For your friendship too—

Hungry for fellowship—

They want to know you!

 

Smile and inquire

How are you my friend?

Let’s get together—

Then joy will descend!

 

Encourage each other–

You both will be strong.

Love like the FATHER

Who knows you belong!

 

So, brotherly love

Is the BEST way to go!

It brightens your day

And others you know!

  1. Thank you, Martha. I responded to Lynn’s reflective thoughts before I read your poem. Seems like our minds were in the same place.
