Brother
special day today
a day to be remembered
my brother's birthday
sixty years ago
he blessed us with his presence
sixty years today
not exactly me
my big brother, you might say
i wasn't born yet
pave the way, he did
i walked within his footsteps
each and every day
pave the way, he does
i will walk that path one day
knowing that it's safe
so count your blessings
count them every single day
and in every way
