A Poem For My Brother

My brother, my baby, my protector, my friend
Until I had a family of my own
It was you and you alone I treasured
And loved more than anyone.
From catching fireflies in the night
To watching little league games, it
Wasn’t long before we grew and knew
Life wouldn’t be the same.
No matter where we went or what we did 
we Never lost sight of those two close kids.
Years passed by and the bond still grew
Into what we called “Me and You”.
There will always be just you and me
And in my heart you now beat free.
So, baby brother I lay you to rest
But know that you were always treasured
And best.
I say a prayer, I’ll sing our tunes,
And once again we’ll be together soon!

I love you!

To My Brother My Friend

I wrote this poem 3/26/1996

To My Brother, My Friend

My first memory of you was
looking through the hospital nursery
window at this little butterball that
I was told was my new little brother.

From that moment on I was now
your "little mother" For over the years,
through joys and sorrow, I protected
you as if you were my own.

But as you grew the roles reversed and 
since you've protected me.  You're my truest friend
in the world.  I know I can always count on you
to be there no matter the cost
and BROTHER, I want you to know
that WITHOUT you I would truly
be lost!



**Since losing him recently I truly do feel "lost" I found this poem at my parents
