IF You Are My Brother

“If you are my brother, 

 Then you must always be honest with me even when it hurts. 

 If you are my brother,

 then you must always push me forward when I want to quit. 

If you are my brother,

 then you must acknowledge my faults and help me to correct them. 

 If you are my brother, 

then I know that I can count on you when times are rough.

If you are my brother,

then you must be critical of me when I am not critical of myself.

If you are my brother, 

then I must be able to cry around you and not be ashamed.

If you are my brother, 

then I must be able to share my feelings with you and not offend you. 

If you are my brother,

then all these things I will do for you." - Author Unknown
