Big Brother

I was born first so I expected to show you the way At first it was fun until my demons took me away From time to time I turned around to see my little brother grow And knowing I wasn’t there for you caused me years of regret and sorrow On the times we’d meet I’d want the days to never end For somewhere along the way I realized I wanted you as a friend I watched you live a life I yearned and I admired your self-motivating ways And I so appreciate the shoulder you lent when I’d call during my self-pity days Now when I look at my brother I’m proud to say you have become my friend And it appears a switch has occurred for you’ve become the big brother in the end
