You say your glass is full Wee Sis
And that’s a statement true
It’s full of crème de menthe you see
And it’s green, so you won’t feel blue
So while you sip away at it
Let me introduce myself
I’ll start by saying a little bit
While you relax and settle yourself
Now firstly let me tell you this
I got a message from up high
An angel passed a note to me
Said ‘your needed’ was her cry
So I spoke to her a minute
To see what I could do
And found I had a calling
I knew exactly what to do
So I walked the path towards you
With a smile and outstretched hand
And hugged a good old country gal
From good old Dixie land
Now surprised was not the word I’d use
When I gazed at what I seen
For all around her family
Was a land of evergreen
Now the message got was simple
A big brother she does seek
So I had to get a move on
Couldn’t wait another week
So I stepped into my shiny shoes
Put my best foot forward too
And started walking Cullman way
So I could meet with you
Now how to ask who I looked for
Was something I needn’t fear?
See your initials are the same you see
Our connection is so clear
So I found where I was looking
And standing there so proud
Was a family I should be part of?
Standing tall amongst the crowd
I am proud to meet you Sister
And I’ll make you proud of me
And that’s not just a promise
It’s ‘my word’, just wait and see
I will honour you like brothers do
Protect you from the storm
And be your rock to cling to
If anything goes wrong
Yes I’ll shower you with flowers
On your birthday, you will see
The nicest big old brother
You will have if you pick me
So Michelle I stand before you
What you see is what you’ll get
A brother you can talk to
Let these words in stone be set
Please allow me now this honour
And the kids will be pleased to
Another uncle they will have
Cause they’ll be family too
So I’ll leave you be Dear Sister
Let you think of me a while
But I’ll know just where to find you
By the grin on that big smile.
