The way,
years of care and thoughtfulness
was forgotten in mere moments,
shows not how insignificant those efforts were,
but how unworthy the recipient was.
I am not disappointed in my lack of judgement,
but I'm glad that the price for knowing
the true worth of an individual
did not bankrupt my intentions
of looking after people I call my own.
Friendship is a choice, brotherhood is an honor.
Although dishonored, I have no regrets
for the choice I made.
