This poem is for you.
It is simple and it is true.
I cried three times writing it.
It is one of the hardest things I've ever had to articulate.
You are my brother and I love you, if I say nothing else
I hope you know that.
I’m proud of you because you are so tall
I’m proud of you because you have grown up so fast
I'm proud of you because you will always be my best tag opponent
I’m proud of you because your intelligence astounds me it always has
I’m proud of you because you were there when Daddy was ill
You saved us all
I will never thank you enough for that
I’m proud of you because I know I will always have you
To cry when I'm on stage
To tickle me until I pea
To protect me
To drink with me
To be my rock as we all get older
I’m proud of you because she is lovely we couldn’t be happier to love her too
I’m proud of you because you are still so silly
I’m proud of you because I love you
I’m proud of you and I can’t wait to find out more reasons why in the years to come
