To my Big Brother

We were playmates when we were young.

Friends and Brothers when we were old.

Most people did not understand, you just wanted to be loved for who you were.

You did not understand that you were loved by so many.

You gave your all though you did not have much.

For that Big Brother, I love and respect you as such.

Your much older brother
