There were once two brothers
They were the complete opposite and different
One was warn and loving
And the other was cold and ignorant.
One loved and served the Lord
With all his strength, heart and mind
The cold one neglects God's word
and life to him was undefined
One had everything anyone can ask for
Everything to satisfy his needs were there
However, his brother had nothing
This feeling was more than he can bear
He who loved had a caring heart
That was strong and blameless
While his brother's heart was not pure
His feelings were the opposite from bliss
One had a relationship with God
And prayed to him on the daily
While the other was distant from God
And hasn't had a heart to heart with him lately
He obeyed and respected his parents
Every Sunday, praised the Lord and attended church
The other wandered the streets with his clique
His body and mind got corrupted and hurt
He was like a clean surface
Without a particle of dust
His brother was like a rose with thorns
It can't be held but admired, attracts nothing but lust
It was as though one of the sheep
Ran off from the flock
One remained with the group
While the other left and is lost.
The loving brother cared for his sibling
And knew the solution was to pray
He was worried for his beloved brother
So he knelt down and began to say
"Father, help me to find my way
Guide me so I stop leading this double life
I'm tired of being one thing and then the another
I'm willing to change and make it through this fight
I do everything my parents say
But the truth about me is omitted from their mind
I do not want to continue loving you half-heartedly
Because that heart is not mine
Tear away the outer shell
Which my heart hid inside for so long
This heart will belong to you
My brother is now gone."

Note:
For those who are....confused with this. LOL
It's for those (like me) who praise the Lord and are so into it. They sing their heart out, they give their life to him only when they have to. Example: church, retreats...etc
But when it comes to school, friends...you forget everything. You forget the sermons you learned, the
great feeling you had after a retreat. The poem mentions that he had a relationship with God. Don't we all? But what kind did he have? It wasn't intimate like it should be. He prayed on the daily, but who knows, it could be because it's a routine, because he feels that he has to.
He was warm and loving but cold and ignorant. Some people can seem that way, where they are friendly and loving to certain people and towards others they're the complete opposite.
It seems that outside of church, we make bad decisions and we feel guilty and so we come to church to repent and then they just do it all over again.
This is just to remind all of those people who are lost that it's not too late to make things right.
I really like this one. I think this is the most meaningful one I wrote LOL.
