My Little Brother

He helped me through everything

He held my hand

He walked beside me

He encouraged me to be strong

Just for him

 

When darkness took hold

He brought me back

Never letting go

He's my hero, my amazing little brother

 

i kept strong

just for him

i smiled no matter the outcome 

just for him

i held my head high 

and never cried 

just for him

 

he has been there for me

now it's my turn

It's difficult with split parents 

but we tough it out

just for them

 

Now it's my turn 

To make him proud

Just for him

"Now it's my turn/To make him proud/Just for him" beautiful words spoken by an older sibling. As the oldest sister to 4 younger sisters, I completely understand the relationship you are expressing here- and honestly, it made me a little teary-eyed. It was beautiful and a very heartwarming poem. It touched on the dark times and the happy ones, and I hope one day you can give him this piece to show him the impact he has on you, and just how important he is. Thank you for sharing this piece with the rest of us.
