He Is Like Gravity
Sometimes we meet people who are like gravity,
they just pull you in and hold you down like a tree.
They come into our lives and impact us like no other.
Thank God I have one in my life, he is my brother.
You might think I have a biased opinion,
but he is like no one else, ruling his dominion.
There is not a single bad thing to say about him.
Everywhere he goes is bright, even when its dim.
When we go out with his friends, it still amazes me.
Everyone wants to be around him as far as I can see.
Most of the people like this are obnoxious and loud,
but he's quiet and calm, to say he is my brother, makes me proud.
He is the type of guy to give you the shirt he is wearing.
He showed me the respect you can gain just by caring.
I saw that all the girls wanted him and trust me they do,
but he was with one girl for 15 years, and always stayed true.
So he is the person I look up to in this world the most.
He is bigger than this life, he is bigger than grandiose.
I don't think there is anyone else like him, no other.
So once again I say, I am so proud to call him my brother.
