A Brothers Love

Hope we'll always remember when, A time when all of this began; Every day, we spent, us two In unplanned mischief to put Mom through. A brothers life is tough at times, To keep each from a life of crime; We drank water from a hose and laughed our milk right out our nose From race cars to bugs in jars, From one adventure to another; With hands held tight through scary nights, Made safer with a brother. From skinned up knees to pillow fights And every snowball that we've tossed, I'm here for you, for things that might, Need help to get across.

A beautiful poem, Charlie. So true are your words of loving compassion. I have seven brothers and seven sisters, I love them all. But the one I miss the most is my brother Jay, who is dead. Your poem comforts me thinking about him and the fun we had growing up. Ty for this heartwarming poem, my friend. Love always.

There is such closeness between both of you through your words. You made my nose hurt with "laughed our milk right out our nose" I so do remember how it feels. A 10 Charlie !!
