Poem
We were kids, we had our squabbles I'd have a fit, and run to tattle A few disputes, a fib, a shout Until mom would come to sort it out Untangling kids she'd gladly strangle... She'd send us off, to think, or pout But you were my star,… so tall you stood… And .. 'though I tried to reach that far I never could- Oh sure, I was little, and had laughed at my attempts to do a task I'd blow a gasket, but soon I slipped into my teens... And then so fast, the time had passed and you were off to see the world- And how I longed, to have you back. While looking back, I see more clearly and loved you dearly, for being there... For being fair, for being you... And something else. Did I tell you?... You were my idol You were my hero, you made me proud I'll say it now, I'll say it loud that you still do. Did you know…. My darling brother, all my life, as we were growing I looked to you, to make me climb a little higher, and all that time I saw the world, a little better I looked to you, a little older to make me try a little harder For, I was shy...and you were not, You gave me goals, to reach the spot... To try my best, to reach the gold As we got older, it was so clear. And we grew near, so very near Which says a lot. You were my star, and you still are You helped me know, you helped me grow Did you know you had inspired that little spark… Did you know how I much admired? How much the years gave me the fire To keep alive that little fire, and how I ….strive …… to toe the mark ?
