I had posted a poem to my brother a couple of weeks ago, and it has disappeared into cyber space. Luckily, I still have my hand-written version of it, so here it is again.
Ode to my Bro
He claims I’ve never written him one
so this poem is for my brother
Mom said when no one is left in the world
all we would have is each other
Though that was often said to us
when we fought as siblings often do
I guess the bond of brother and sister
can somehow make that statement true
We are each our only sibling
and I enjoy the rank of younger female
The benefits of having a big brother
are more than these words entail
Growing up we were confidantes
figuring out what Mom and Dad would say
I would often go to my brother first
and still can to this very day
I had my own personal coach
not only in athletics, but also in life
and he would always stick up for me
even if I am the source of my own strife
A caring protective older brother
who allowed me to often tag along
He taught me that I could do for myself
and to keep my spirit going strong
and though he likes to taunt and tease
I know he thinks the world of me
Always ready to give me his best advice
between us there is no rivalry
The most wondrous thing I can say about him,
the best (and only) brother I ever had
is I get to see him interact with his children
He is even better as a Dad
Thank you bro- for everything
you’ve been my coach, my confidante and friend
I’d go on and on as I’ve said before
but this poem must have an end.
I love you Johnny!
