To My Brothers


Poem Artwork

 

 

 

And They Look At Me

I was the oldest brother

We didn’t have a father

We all loved our mother

She made us try harder.

 

No man to lead the way

To hold us on his knee

Troubles came every day

They all looked at me.

 

To get them out of scrapes

To help them find their way

Oh for goodness sakes

A challenge every day.

 

They all worked with me

We tried so many things.

Times were wild and free

We grew and spread our wings.

 

I tried to do my best

My advice was always free

I put them to the test

And they looked at me.

 

We worked and played so hard

Loved each other so

Wrestled in the yard

Went where brothers go.

 

They did the best they could

Sometimes I didn’t see

How much they cared for me

And how they looked at me.

 

Now the years have passed

And memories fill my mind

Of the treasures I’ve amassed

Deep in my heart that I find.

 

Those moments we shared

Those moments we loved

Those moments we cared

Those brothers beloved.

 

They are now not with me

But I’m never alone

Because they still look at me

I know I’m never alone.

 

I love you guys !!!!

Luke

Thanks Ron

I just read my twin brother's auto-biography about his cars. When he wrote about the troubles I had with our cars in our teenage years, I had forgotten all the scrapes my father got us out of by being there as a strong figure to overcome the stuff we got into.

Having read that, I don't envy your position as the eldest (I am the eldest as the dominant twin) without a father to back you up. I know your mother stuck up for you whenever she could, but a father can have some real clout.

Your brothers are going to love this.

Ron
