PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I pass this envelope

I hope that you know

My heart’s filled in this poem

That I am intending to show



I’ve known you now

5 years in the making

And been there for you

In the paths you are taking



Whether you took it

Or bothered with it not

I and my family supported you

And your help I’ve not forgot



I remember many sad times

I had no where to turn

And looked to you for help

And from you I did learn



We pick on each other like

True siblings of birth

And you’re quick to draw

Harsh words of worth



But I’ve confided within you

Then you’ve done so back with me

And that kind of trust

Is what assures me confidently



You may not accept

My calling you of “Big Brother”

But you’ve been there for me

So a title I think no other



Not only a role model

Have you been in my light

But also a teacher

Not just a sub by invite



One of the biggest things

I have to thank you for

Is addressing me as “Hisako”

Instead of “Nani” anymore



No matter what may happen

No matter what you may say

I’ll forever remember these times

And many special thanks I convey
