My Brothers — The Gurus Who Walked Beside Me

In the journey of life, when I was young and unsure
You became my guides, my strength, my cure
Not just brothers by the bond we share
But silent Gurus who showed me care

You held my hand when I learned to walk
You taught me courage through every talk
With gentle advice and a watchful eye
You helped me dream, you helped me fly

You taught me lessons no books could give
The values of love, the ways to live
Through your actions, your patience, and grace
You helped me find my rightful place

Sometimes you corrected, sometimes you stood strong
Sometimes you simply listened when things went wrong
Behind every smile and every deed
Your love was fulfilling my every need

You were my protectors in storms of life
My companions through joy and strife
With your wisdom lighting every way
You became my Gurus day by day

Though years may pass and paths may part
Your teachings remain within my heart
The lessons you gave, the love you showed
Are precious treasures on my life’s road.

Salutations to my brothers, my Gurus true,
Whose love and guidance helped me become who I am today

With gratitude, I bow to the souls who stood beside me
Not only as brothers, but as my lifelong Gurus
