Hello, Brother, how are you?
Have a seat, relax a bit
so I can introduce myself.
Settle down, while this story I knit.
I heard a bird calling for help....
As I investigated, he looked toward me
and said he fell from his nest -
now he needed a family.
I'm answering the call, I'd like
to think, in the best way I know how.
I'll be there for you whenever you
choose to need or want me, this I humbly vow.
Though I may not be able to solve your
problems, or help your sorrows,
I can promise you I'll be by your side
today, & for the rest of our tomorrows.
Little Brother, I want you to see
this person, who I am, what makes
me different. I care, truly,
about people, no matter what path you take.
I trust quickly, & have often been hurt.
I am sensitive to others' thoughts,
especially to how people treat me
when for their acceptance I have fought.
I know life isn't always roses -
forget peaches & cream -
I still look for the sunshine,
the bright side of everything.
I believe in Jesus Christ
& long for the day I'm in Heaven,
where some of my family is already,
& I hope to see my friends.
I will try to be what you need
& give it my all - but please:
understand I may fail, stumble, & fall.
Just think on the good things:
How I'll help you up
& really care about you.
All you have to do is let me in
& we'll be a family, it's true!
Well, Brother, it's time for me to go.
I've deeply enjoyed our time together.
Think on the things I've said...
Smile, no matter what the weather!

Very Good
You've gracefully described what siblings should be like without sounding like a lecturer. I like how it was put together. Good job!
