What Do You See?

I look at my brother and what do I see? I see big cheeks and a jolly smile Innocence and curiosity tammed and wild I see a strong man to be one that could rewrite all the books of history I see a stature so grand in scale that he could build a empire as large as the grandest tale I see strength, convicition along with unmeasurable compassion but if crossed a fury that resides that would make mighy men come down crashing I see a man that will love his kids and wife he will rule with a pen, and a double edged knife When I look at my Brother I see a king One who I would be glad to kneel before My brother's keeper I sing I love him because I know he loves me but more importantly he loves the world you see My job is too never let that go away, my job is too make him remember who and what we are every day We are kings and queens, but sometimes we forget we have that trait Cleopatra, nefertiti, Hannibal, Tutankamun, and Ramses (the Great) It is time to remember that before it is too late When you look at your Brother what do you see? Hopefully you see what I see, A king to be.
