Rising Star

To the boy who battled dragons
In the mists of yesteryear
Did you ever imagine
That you’d be standing here?

To the man who’s made of stardust
Our brightest son and sun
Will your light shine the farthest
When all is said and done?

To the boy who built his castle
In the once-upon-a-time
On the day you turn your tassel
Did you know how bright you’d shine?

To the man who’s making history
As you light the way for others
Is it really a mystery
That I’m proud to call you brother?


*For my brother
