His Stroke
just a little slurring on the left side
as he holds back these tears
my eldest brother
so funny down the years...
we`ve had our differences
yes, that I can say
and yes, I still love him and wish the stroke away-
He`s so gung ho to get going
he`s amazing to me
inspirational and uplifting and funny as can be...
how he keeps busy in that hospital by day
is a mystery to me as his spirits don`t fray
he does all his exercises
in fact he does more
in hopes of escape
on that hospital floor-
he`s got his reservations in
to be with the world real soon-
my brother
the star
you got me over the moon.
