How You Make the Stars Hush
There is something about
The way you face your day
With a heart of gold
And such a giving way.
There is something about
The way you endure your pain
As if the stroke
Didn’t harm your brain
There is something about
The life you live
Loving like there will be no tomorrow
And living to forgive
There is something about
The brother you are
And the son you have been
That makes us more proud by far
It is everything about
The garden you grow
With sweat and tears
As the fruits to others you bestow
It is everything about
A body half paralyzed
That can produce gifts of woodwork
That leaves us mesmerized.
It is everything about
Your speech so limited
Yet communication
For you is unlimited.
It is everything about
Your inner soul
That has inspired me
To be so much more
It is you my brother
In all that you do
That have made the stars
Hush for me too.
I have been blessed to have such a brother
Contest: How you make the stars hush
