#WordPrompt – Strong

He hadn’t been like this before, his childhood marred by bullying from others, however, as he looked at his brother lying in the hospital bed after the motorbike accident, he knew now that he had to do his best for his mother, his sister and his injured brother.

The words from a song from his youth floated into his mind:

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.
