A poem I wrote today to my brother Larry Ralph Lauren I love you more then any words can express! "Brother" I have been sitting here thinking about life and only one word comes up continuously It’s the same word that reminds me of better days It’s the same word that reminds me of hope It’s the same word that reminds me that even in my darkest times that there is a future for me The same word that’s used to identify the person who is my every thing That word is brother And when I think about the word brother I don’t think of the definition… a sibling... another child born of my mother When I think of the word brother I remember the small smiling face of a child I wanted to do nothing but protect When I looked at his face I knew that I wanted to shield him from any pain or hurt I knew that when we got older I wanted him to honestly say that he had the best sister in the world But somewhere along the road the roles reversed Big sister who only wanted to protect that little boy that looked so much like her ... She began to drown in a sea of fear, regret, confusion and self-loathing Somewhere on this road of life we came to a fork where we made a wrong turn and little brother became big brother and big sister was lost and drowning in her pain But little brother grew strong enough to pull her up every time she sank deeper And somehow little brother keeps big sister afloat Somehow little brother became the one looking at his sisters tear streaked face and knowing that he wanted to do nothing but protect her and shield her from any pain or hurt Somehow little brother grew up and big sister is the one saying honestly that she has the best brother in the world I wonder if he knows that big sister fights every day to turn the roles back to the way they were at the beginning … I wonder if he knows that all she wants is to go back to being the shield All she wants is to put that smile back on his face and for it to be painless, genuine and real. All she wants is for her little brother to be that good man that she knows him to be to everyone else in the world so everyone knows his greatness so everyone knows that he is intelligent, strong, capable, and loving And most of all she wants for that man to say honestly that she is the best sister in the world
