My Brother

" My Brother "

(Dedicated to my brother)

***

When I think about my big brother

one word stands out above all the rest

Love

I have a special bond with him that I share with no other

We finish each other's sentences

Can make each other laugh with just a look

Another word that comes to mind is

Adoration

I was the little sister that would follow him anywhere

When I turned five and went to school

I would sit on the swing and wait right there

Until he finally came home

Now that we're older and somewhat wiser

Another word that comes easily to my mind is

Respect

I respect the man that he has become

the difficult choices he's had to make

And I never thought it possible

But I love him all the more
