My brother, my friend

We rarely get sappy, my brother and I. But sometimes in the day-to-day you stop and realize how grateful you are for the people in your life.

We share a special bond

that grows stronger through the years.

Looking back on things we've done,

I realize that some of my happiest memories

are of times we've shared.

You give me the freedom to be myself -

there's never a need to pretend.

I'd like you to know there will always be

a special place in my heart for you -

My Brother and My Friend.
