Brothers are like that

They Pin You to Your Roots

…If Your Ego Goes to Bat

Your Reality Check

– Brothers Are Like That

They Bully, They Trouble

They Steal Your Cakes

But They Also Cover Up

Your Silly Mistakes

They Tease You to Tears

Even Snatch Your Toys

But Then, They ‘protect’ You

From all the Bad Boys

When Mom Dad Listen

But Cannot Understand

They’re by Your Side

To Take a Stand

If Dreams Ever Crumble

To a Heap of Sand

They Rebuild your Castles

With a Helping Hand

Your Happiness

Lights Up Their Eyes

In Your Sadness

Their Heart Cries

They Grieve Your Lows

They Cheer Your Highs

In Your Achievement

They Scale the Skies

Your Bodies Share

A Common Clay

Different, Yet Similar

In An Uncanny Way

Your Hearts, Your Souls

Woven Together

Your Childhood Memories

Made up of Each Other

You Grow and Part

Never ‘Grow Apart’

Two Souls Share

A Singular Heart

No Room for Envy

Or Place for Petty

A Selfless Connect

Spans Eternity

Parting Only Bestows

Your Bond More Heft

Threads Seamlessly Pick up

From Where You’d Left

Angel One Moment

Next, a Brat

Bundles of Nostalgia

– Brothers Are Like That
