From childhood days to who I am today
You've been the one who helped me find my way
With every simple thing and every helping hand
You showed me by example how to
Learn how to grow and to stand.
You showed me strength was more than being strong
That courage means admitting when you're wrong
You led with kindness, patience, truth, and grace
My role model Mickey, no one else could take your place
Through laughs we shared and troubles we have known
You always made sure I never walked alone.
My steady and true brother from beginning to end,
My cool brother Mickey, my lifelong friend.
So here's my thanks for all you've done for me
For helping shape the person I wanted to be
No matter where our life's winding roads end,
You'll be my brother, my role model,
my lifelong friend
Love sister Judy
