You've always been here for me, <br />But now you are about to leave. <br />I know we fuss and fight, <br />But I love you with all my might. <br /> <br />You are my big brother, <br />And there is no other. <br />No one can take your place, <br />And when you leave, there will be this big empty space. <br /> <br />We've never been really close, <br />But at least you have not always lived across the coast. <br />Because some big brothers do, <br />I'm really grateful for the years I've lived with you. <br /> <br />I remember when I was small, <br />And I would always fall. <br />You were always there for me, <br />And I know you always will be. <br /> <br />You told me not to cry, <br />That it would be ok. <br />Even if I thought you lied, <br />It was like my big brother saved the day. <br /> <br />You’ve made me laugh, you’ve made me cry, <br />You've even helped me hide some lies. <br />I love you is something I don’t tell you enough, <br />But I want you to know <br />When you leave it will be really tough. <br /> <br />I don’t know how my life will be, <br />Without you here beside me. <br />You've lived with me for some years, <br />But now we're shedding our good-bye tears. <br /> <br />I know you have to move out, <br />And start a life of your own. <br />But promise me without a doubt, <br />You will never forget us back home.<br /><br />carlisa smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-big-brother-4/
