My Brother

By CassieJoeB

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am your older sister But I am nothing to you. You may never speak So I might never hear you. I wish you could tell me, Because I don’t really know you. I see you but we have never met, You don’t comprehend what I say. You look at me with blank eyes, And you never recognize me. When I come towards you, You accept me as a stranger. I want to be close to you, Like you are my brother, But you are so far away. I keep trying to reach you. I tell you everything, I hope that you know who I am. I love you so much, And I tell you so all the time, But you never understand me. It makes me cry to know, You’ll always be right there, But never here with me.This was for my brother, Jonathon, who has DownSyndrome.
