My Brother's Keeper

Hush little boy don't you cry
I'm not your mama, but I'll sing you a lullaby
I know you feel lonely and you don't know why
Our mom has vanished, big sis is here
You've been lost and found, I promise not to go anywhere
Don't fret, don't you live in fear
My baby brother, and I am your keeper, from now on
Not a baby any more, an army man now, you've moved on
It all worked out, all my battles with you, how you never won
Integrity, compassion, is the man you are today
I told you, my rules would make you strong some day
I wouldn't let up, or give you your way
A soldier, a son, a brother, an, uncle you showed the world who you can be
I am not your mama, but I love you as I am, I hope you see
Your future wife, a lucky lady she will be
I am sorry mom left us, I did the best I could for you
And I know you thank me for it, you've showed me your gratitude
Although all I want is for you to be happy, through and through
A frail child to a strong young man, you've made me proud
I miss you so, when you're not around
But I won't weep, I won't make a sound
You are living your life, the best you know how
I am my brother's keeper, I'll always be around

A tribute to my brother, only four years younger than myself. I was left the responsibility of raising him, an amazing human being he turned out to be
Amber, your brother has a great start to life, I'm sure he will grow into a true and loving man. You are one of nature's most caring souls, you will always attract good things to you. I wish the best of luck to you and your younger brother.
Thank you bee, he is an adult now on his own, sort of, when he goes on leave he comes home to his big sister. He has made a good life for himself and has inspired so many of his friends to do what they were meant to do. I really appreciate that you took the time to read this. Sending good vibes
Your kinds words mean so much to me flower girl. I also said I would write a book of my life, never got to it, for I feel I have so much more ground to cover. I have been rewarded, with his success, I have a loving husband and beautiful daughter and a home to go to everyday. Those things I am great full for everyday. I am glad you enjoyed my poem. I like to tell my story bit by bit for I feel I have so much wisdom other might need. Thank you flower girl xoxo
