Every girl should have a brother
Like you to lean upon.
To share the fears and burdens
That besiege us with each new dawn.
Although you're the baby brother,
And I'm the older in years,
I sometimes feel the role's reversed
As you sense my uncertain fears.
I know I have been richly blessed
With the family that was given to me.
I cherish you, my brother,
And your warm sensitivity.
