To Barry (Happy Birthday)
I have a brother
He's like no other
He always looks out
For me
He's a great guy
A worthy to celebrate
Guy
O and
He bought an X-Box
For me
He was there when I needed a brother
When I was down out and depressed
The advice he gave was knowledgeable
And the best
He helped me see through my
Teenage delusions
And to find myself --
O, My future self to be
Yes
He's my big brother
But not like that other
Big-Brother
Yes O he always
Looks out for me
Yes
He looks out for me
He was there for me when I needed a friend
And to my very honor
He made me the best man
At his wedding
And I am so highly proud
Like I'm sure would be
His son or daughter
To have him as father
Yes
I was so very proud
That I didn't lose that wedding ring
He was there when I needed a role model
Now thirty, married, successful
With so much life ahead
He sets the standards
Of caring and integrity and honesty
Of being a man
Yes in so many ways
He is the man I would wish
To be
Yes he is someone I would be proud to be
But I am glad we are all different
My whole family has been like a great present
A privilage to grow with, to go with, to know with
To understand this life, and myself
And to happily be
And in summation
This poem is a celebration
Of appreciation and thanks to he
He my good brother
Like him there is no other
And his brother I will always be
Glad
To be
On.
