My Role Model - My Brother

My role model

Is smart and handsome in body and soul,

Is intellectual, but fun

Will let me call and leave silly messages on the answering machine

(like singing Happy Raksha Bandhan to myself)

Holds family close to his heart no matter what

Takes pride in his accomplishments

(such as learning how to cook, learning Italian,

building a dream house

AND decorating it beautifully)

Knows it's ok to cry in front of others

Is always there to listen, give guidance, and a hug

Has a contagious laugh, a continuous smile

And enough pep to scare cheerleaders

He has learned not to sweat the small nuances life thrown at us

Keeps the faith

But most of all

Is wholehearted in her love

My role model, my brother

Happy Raksha Bandhan.....
