My Blood Brother
For you, Aaron.
Let me tell you about my brother from my point of view.
He was wise and brave,
it’s not just me who thinks that, you could ask anyone who knew.
He had the heart of lion.
The most Courageous in the room.
Hed have your back like only your mom do.
Family oriented and loving
Hilarious and fun
The life of the party, I swear.
My mom & dads first son.
He was everyones big brother
Even our older siblings.
Just ask him.
And them.
They’ll tell you
He big stepped behind us.
He was big stepper for all his people.
His parents, his lady & his babies, family and friends too.
He accepted you for who you were
Nothing less.
That’s just how he was
he was real solid like that..
Big dawg.
You heard his roar.
He was here for only a second
I wish that we had more.
More time to love you.
More time to laugh.
More time to have our deep talks
Or reminisce about our past
CHIN UP MONEY
Is what he’d say to all of us
He’d tell us that he’s fine
We just gone have to trust
I learned so much from you.
How to love, how to forgive.
You showed me it’s cool to be who you are
Chin up and have a brave heart.
See big brother; you were the best big brother
I wish I knew that from the start
Because siblings are your first enemy
He’d do petty stuff like say he got me something and I’d say what and he’d lift his leg and fart.
Truly a character.
I seen him flick everybody lip..
He flicked mine once. It was the last time too cause I bent his finger so far back I’m surprised it didn’t turn blue.
Once I figured out that he was actually really cool, we honestly had a ball.
We had stupid fights of course
But even then I could still call.
You kept secrets not just mine..
I speak for everyone when I say this
You were one of a kind.
we are blessed to have known you.
Your face and voice is embedded in my brain
Every day I show your kids your picture
And they’ll smile and say your name.
They must not forget.
I won’t let them.
If the roles were switched, you’d do the same for me.
You had our back far too tough in life
& that alone gives me a sense of peace.
I know you still rocking with us tough.
& for that I’ll get some sleep.
We all gained a guardian angel.
I love you after death, brother.
