Spirit of Generosity

Contributor: Ben Riddle

The spirit of generosity
came as a surprise
to my beloved
brother;

Distant as he had become
from the words
that made us
into angels;

Grounded
as he had been made;
stripped of his wings,
restrained by pain;

Forgotten by everyone he’d loved;
save for God and I.
