I Celebrate My Brother Poem by Susan Lacovara

I Celebrate My Brother

Rating: 4.8


We were two entangle children
A lifetime ago
He has been my best friend,
Ever since
We spat, we kicked, we screamed
We loved, we laughed, we cried
We watched as time ticked by
Feeling no effects of years
Forever I am young with him

We have raised our voices
Raised our glasses
Raised our standards
And raised hell...
We have lifted each other's spirits
More times than time
Would allow us to count
We have held hands, held court,
Held tight through hurricane gales
Always he with me, me with him
Unbreakable the chain that binds

In celebration of my brother
Tomorrow I shall thank angels
Lucky stars, my parents, and all the universe
A sister's heart o my wishes for his happiness
Over and over, over all of time

I really like this tribute to your brother from the title right through the last line. The word CELEBRATE is central to the poem, and the rest of the poem shows the two of you celebrating with carefree joy especially in the wonderful accumulation based on the verb RAISED. I like the good humor of ending on WE RAISED HELL. I can think of one more image - WE WERE RAISED TOGETHER! Your brother will surely b e delighted with this poem - What a fine gift to help him across the 5oth year threshold! ! I have a twin sister and a poem for her is overdue. You've goiven me valuable ideas/inspiration.
