My Brother ( James ) By Freeda E. Boss
One of God's common noblemen, He wrought in metal,
Moulded , by labor, with His strong hands, his Designated piece of work.
Wrought it happily, expertly- Did it well and fitted it
Into the man he wrought So diligently for God.
Unconsciously , he designed through Common days and common tasks
And knew it not , the man Whom no one envied. Only loved.
An expert fashioner . he patterned The common things of hand
Into qualities that master men, And made them , - as he
God's common nobleman.
