To My Brother My Friend

I wrote this poem 3/26/1996

To My Brother, My Friend

My first memory of you was
looking through the hospital nursery
window at this little butterball that
I was told was my new little brother.

From that moment on I was now
your "little mother" For over the years,
through joys and sorrow, I protected
you as if you were my own.

But as you grew the roles reversed and 
since you've protected me.  You're my truest friend
in the world.  I know I can always count on you
to be there no matter the cost
and BROTHER, I want you to know
that WITHOUT you I would truly
be lost!



**Since losing him recently I truly do feel "lost" I found this poem at my parents

O my goodness....this brings tears... The love is so endearing. I have only one sibling, a brother, so this touches deeply. I'm so sorry for your loss.
