Big Bully & Brother By Octavia Smith

Big  Bully and Brother

Seemed hardest to ignore

You delved into our lives

And and made it your own

“Donned” you the hat of a perfect dude

We just had to listen

Always had to answer

Why? Where? When?

Someone could have warned us

You had a plan to stay, to reign

And always to hold our hands

Yes! We staged our freedom

To outsmart you even

Ranted raved

Always ready to run

To breakfree; to escape

Your charge, your challenge

And your company

The world seemed unready for you

You startled, stunned and confused

The minds of many

Now you no longer grasp our hands

But carefully you hold our hearts

We bounce balls against your thick skin

You now listen to our dissent

And our gripe

Happy you’ve  found a new way

To express your love.

Welcome home

And Happy birthday.

Note: Thanks to my sister Octavia Smith for writing this for me on by birthday. I love you sis.
