Big Brother

When I was small, you tortured me, with innocent tickles. When I was eight, you taught me to ride a bike. When I was eighteen, you offered comfort to a broken heart. When I was twenty eight, your famous band played at my wedding. When I was forty eight, you understood my married woes. When I was admitted, unable to cope, you visited me. When I was voiceless, and heading to court, you spoke for me. When I was fatherless, you stepped in and fathered me. I love you Derek.xx

You are sure blessed I'm the oldest of 8 siblings and the majority of the time very dysfunctional...

Thank you SKAT. I enjoy posting my poems here. Because of the website's advice to only praise, I know if there is a remark, it is unlikely a character assassination similar to what I received on another website. so, I click in to see with joy.
