Brothers, sometimes they tease us, sometimes they challenge us, but through it all, they hold a special place in our hearts.
As kids, a brother might have been the one who borrowed your stuff or played the prankster. But over the years, that same brother can grow to be one of your closest friends, someone who understands your past and stands with you in the present.
The poems in this collection reflect the many sides of having a brother, from the laughs to the lessons, from the childhood memories to the bond that lasts a lifetime.
Whether short or long, each verse offers a heartfelt way to share your thoughts and appreciation. Let these poems help you express what sometimes words alone can't say.
Brother, Oh Brother
Brother, oh brother, where would I be without you
Over the years you have helped me in all I do.
You have been an encourager and a big fan
In my opinion, you're the best in the clan!
You are always willing to lend a hand
And you always had time to listen and understand
Brothers like you are far and few
What would I ever do without you?
We have shared many tears
Over the past years
But also we have had more
Fun times galore!
Siblings we are, but now best friends
I will always be here for you to the end.
I just want to say thank you, my brother,
There truly is no other!
Growing Up
Growing up I was always to blame
You just sat and smiled all the same
No matter what I did
You always blamed "the kid".
And in the middle of the night
You would sneak around and give me a fright
And there were times when I would hide
And you would look for me high and wide.
And you always loved the snow
You made snowmen just for show
You always did well on the tests
You were smarter than the rest.
And as a teenager, you thought you were cool
The girls would look at you and drool
I would roll my eyes and sigh
If they only knew, they would cry.
Oh the memories of so long ago
Yes, when we were kids we didn't know
What great friends we would be
As we got older and more crazy!
So you, my dear brother, I have a bond
Of you, I have grown so fond
You're the best brother a girl could have
Even if you almost drove me mad!
My Brother, My Friend
We've shared some laughs, the kind that stay,
The silly moments that made our day.
We’ve had our times of getting mad,
But even then, I wasn’t sad.
You tease me still, like brothers do,
But deep inside, I still thank you.
For every time I’ve needed you near,
You’ve stood beside me, year by year.
No matter what we’ve faced or done,
You're more than just my parent's son.
You’re strength, you’re fun, you’re tried and true—
And I can always count on you.
Where Did The Years Go
Where did the years go
It seems like so long ago!
We were kids and teased each other so
We would play and have fun in the snow.
We would play tricks and giggle
And we would dance like a wiggle
Where did the years go
It seems like so long ago!
Now here you, another birthday
And you have gone a bit gray
But hey my brother that is okay
As we still love you every day!

A Brother Dear
Happy Birthday to a brother who is dear
As you read this I can see your grin ear to ear
Yes it is me your sister saying your dear
Did you ever think those words you would hear?
But you, my brother, you're the best
Your age shows you're reaching the crest
It's over the hill for you now
So let your sister, please allow
A song I want to sing for you
Siblings we will always be that's true
And with the age, you are now at
It's okay you're a little fat.
All joking aside, I wish you a Happy Day
May you enjoy it in every way
We want you to know we are always there
And for you, we do care!
If Any
If any little love of mine
May make a life the sweeter,
If any little care of mine
May make a friend's the fleeter,
If any lift of mine may ease
The burden of another,
God give me love and care and strength
To help my toiling brother.
A Better Place
This world would be a better place
If we forgave each other and gave some grace
When others do wrong we are quick to blame
But many times we are the same.
Brotherhood of man can be
A realization can't you see
Helping each other, lending a hand
Rather than anger and demands.
Rather than judge each other
We should act more like brothers
Loving one another changes things
And peace to the world it would bring.

Powder Puff
My brother
appears so rough and gruff
But really he is a powder puff.
He puts on a good front
And occasionally lets out a grunt.
But one thing for sure I know
To him, I can always go
I am thankful for this man
And thankful for our clan.
The Best
Siblings fight and tease each other
Oh I think back to my brother
He was younger but that didn't matter
When we were together there was much chatter.
"Please get along" my Mom would say
"You will be good friends someday."
I couldn't imagine that coming true
I really thought she didn't have a clue.
But now we older and friends we are
You even let me borrow your car
I couldn't ask for a better brother
You're the best, I wouldn't trade you for another.
