Today is your day,
the day you were born
so many years ago,
I can't believe how fast its gone,
the years flew by so fast.
You're turning 14,
almost a man,
and I can't begin to to express my pride
in watching each new step you take
and watching you grow more everyday.
When I look at you its hard to believe
how mature and grown up you are
when I still see the sweet little boy
that I helped teach to tie his shoes
and held the hand of when he learned to walk.
I remember the mischievous twinkle in your eyes
and the adorable flashing dimple's,
the open and innocent face of a child
and how you used to love snuggling up beside me
while I read you stories at night.
It scares me a little that you're growing up
because you don't need me that much anymore
but with each day you amaze me more
and make me even more proud
that I get to call you my brother.
You've taught me so very much
about the world and life and loving,
you've taught me patience
when I wanted to scream
*I still think you did it on purpose*
You gave my life a purpose
and that was being your sister,
a very big privilege and honor,
thank you for showing me
the world through your eyes.
You're on your way, almost grown
you're smart and caring and understanding
and you'll go far with whatever you choose,
I'm so proud of you for just being you
and I love you little brother!
