My Brother

Happy Birthday to you, Brother!

Nothing could have been better to know you are always there
There are times when I hated you for your annoyances
but that's only because I failed to recognise our differences
and that we are each an individual bonded by love and family
and surely too we share also a lot of similarities since our growing ups.

Nothing could and should tear us apart
although sometimes your stillness and quietness aggravates me much
for I would often cry out for you to look out for me as my elder.
You may have your reasons for doing the things you do
but know that I have much respect for you and I do look up to you.

Happy Birthday, my brother!
