Two Brothers – v2

Two brothers

each of them lost

in their own way,

estranged from the Father

carrying their own sin.

Sin heavy upon them

though different in kind

unable to see the love of the Father

wanting the best for each of them

in His own way.

One running away,

to a different land

demanding his treasure

lost on this earth

following the flesh.

The older brother

close by but blind,

jealous of the Prodigal,

unable to see the Father

His arms open wide.
