For my brother who watched out for me when I was sick with pneumonia. You thought I forgot didn’t you?!?
You probably thought I forgot
How you gave up your bed
So I could rest my head.
You probably thought I forgot
How you gave up sleep
To hear my weep.
You probably thought I forgot
How you gave up your time
As a friend of mine.
But you were there
When I sick
You were my walking stick.
You were there
When I was tired
You felt your presence was required.
You were there
With every struggling breath
Carefully watching my diminishing health.
And when I could smile
You were the reason
Yes, the end of my sick season.
And when I could laugh
You were the cause
Yes, the end of my unhealthy flaws.
And when I could
You were always there
As only a big brother can be with care.
