I love you well, my little brother

No one is closer to us biologically than a sibling, so that's pretty special. I have always been thankful for my brother, and I wanted my boys to enjoy and appreciate each other, too. When they were little, I had this precious little poem in a frame on their wall,  and I hoped it would be one of many things to foster ongoing, loving relationships among them. I don't know if they remember it, as I do, but it is also a sweet reminder for today.

I love you well my little brother,
And you are fond of me.
Let us be kind to one another
As brothers ought to be.
You shall learn to play with me
And learn to use my toys,
And then I think that we shall be
Two happy little boys.

Happy Birthday, Rob!
