Analysis of Bro Love
To my dearest, older brother
That inspires my heart so much
I turn to you for wisdom
When my mind is out of touch
As I glance towards our newest
Members of our family tree
I observe truly big hearts
Even if one is shaped real wee
We all know that you will be
Going far away from us for a while
And our souls won't be the same
But you will show us love in your own style
With a hug and a simple, little smile
I'll know in my heart you'll be alright
Also, your little woman and kids
Will want to squeeze you really tight
So, no matter how far away
Nor the allotment of time
A piece of your soul will always be with me
And the love you've bestowed this way is mine
