MY BROTHER
Back in April of '68
my mom gave birth
to one of the cutest
most treasured gifts
my brother
now let me tell you
he and I
have not always been so close
for those times
I am truly sorry
but that is in the past
now we are adults
with lives of our own
both busy with day to day life
he with his kids
and his beautiful wife
me with work
and my sweetie
we talk on the phone
sometimes getting lost
in our own little world
he is so like my mom
at times it really blows my mind
he can give me a look
that makes me have chills
it's like looking
right into her eyes
then there are times
he is just my brother
a friend and confidante
he will not be happy
with me for writting this
but I had to get these things out
I love him with all my heart
and would not trade
his love and respect
for anything in this world.
Hi Renee A nice poem about your brother! I have five brothers and am only close to one.. You have captured your relationship in these words so well. Great read. Roz :)
Renee' How could he or anyone possibly be mad at you?? This is a sweet and well-written tribute to your brother! I hope that he is honored, for I would be if one of my siblings wrote for me :) I know this feeling of love for a brother. I have one that I love a lot, too :) A beautiful poem, Renee'
