A Brother so strong that could make you cry and laugh When we were younger, you used to pick on me As we grew older, you became my protector Despite all our differences, no one protects me as you do No one shares the bond we have I will love you forever and not just half of an hourglass When you entered the room, everybody knew it was you No matter the occasion, you “turnup” because that is what you love to do Your smile so big and bright; Head the size of a sun So, you know how to shine A brother so strong that played everything off fine You were so full of loving deeds Who always thought of others? First and helped fulfill their needs In life, I loved you dearly In death, I love you still in my heart, you hold a place no one else can ever fill It broke my heart to let you go, now the angels can take care of you. Pieces of me, family, and loved ones left with you when God called you home Bianca the Poet ~
