My Brother

Born without a hand
Some said you'd die
Born without a foot
Never once did you ask why

The most incomplete person I know
But when I think about you
I can't envision you different
This I've found is true

Once, I laughed at you
I called you a freak
You took it in stride
And called me a geek

Nothing fazed you, you never fell
Thinking on it, you've been to hell
But a stronger man there is not
So many things you have taught

Maybe you'll go but not today
You stand tall
Laughing and grinning
I hope you never fall

(To my brother, the one who changed the course of my life.)
