Brother Poems
Big Brother and Little Brother Poems
What is a brother's place in a family? To a younger brother or sister, he may be a guide to help traverse the complicated path of growing up. To an older brother, a little brother may be seen as a tag along and pain in the neck. As much as siblings squabble when they are young, this is not a sign that they do not love each other. Most siblings would lay down their life for each other. As children grow up they usually find it easier to get along and relate to each other in rewarding ways.

1. Yaz And Orr
Poem About 2 Brothers Once So CloseMy brother was always my best friend,
We would play sports and we'd just pretend.
I'd hit a homer, a goal he'd score,
You see I was Yaz and he was Orr.
As we grew up in The Project Courts,
Nothing mattered except for sports.
We never once thought about a girl,
As we lived in our fantasy world.
For in the courtyard in which we'd play,
The next Bobby Orr would proudly say.
"Ronnie, someday when I'm all grown up,
I'll help The B's win The Stanley Cup.
Score the winning goal in the last game,
And all of Boston will chant my name.
But till that day comes I guess once more,
You can be Yaz and I will be Orr."
Butchie and I played hockey for fun,
And we weren't out to hurt anyone.
But then came drugs, fast money and girls,
And playing sports wasn't in this world.
Because as the years went flying by,
Butchie's goal was to be a Wise Guy.
With the new meaning of the word "score",
They'd be no more Yaz and no more Orr.
I saw Butchie in the project court,
Where we had played every single sport.
His eyes were bugged and his vision blurred,
And when he spoke his speech was slurred.
His face was pale, his expression blank,
He told me he was robbing a bank.
I said, "Butchie, what about poor Ma?
Her heart can't take another scar".
But the madness in my brother's eyes,
Brought out the sadness in my cries.
For there was hatred not seen before,
Back when I was Yaz and he was Orr.
And on the day he was sent to jail,
I had a vision that seemed so real.
I pictured him on a breakaway,
I saw him wink and I heard him say.
"Ronnie, someday when I'm all grown up,
I'll help The B's win The Stanley Cup.
Score the winning goal in the last game,
And all of Boston will chant my name".
As fate would have it, it was his name,
That truly was Butchie's claim to fame.
But in my heart I just wish once more,
I could be Yaz and he could be Orr. -
2. Tears
I saw my brother cry today.
He seemed five years old
It did not seem to me that he was six feet tall.
He lost a thing he treasured,
I saw it in his eyes.
To see my brother hurt,
It made me want to cry.
Love is not measured in how tall you are,
Or how far around your arms go.
When you hug someone that you love so.
But how much it hurts to let something you love go.
I want my brother to know that he
Is loved by all, especially me.
I saw my brother cry today.Latest Shared StoryI love this. I am going to the army, and I hear my brother cry at night. Sometimes he begs me not to go, but I want to help people, and this is how I want to do it. I just feel bad. I do not...

3. My Brother
Brother Leaves For MarinesYou've been there for me
Through it all.
You're always there to catch me
When I start to take a fall.
If I do something bad,
You'll take the blame,
And for all of that,
I am feeling shame.
I never did tell you
All the things I felt,
Like how I really love you
And in my heart you'll dwell.
You protected me from the world
That left the bruises on your face.
All the tears and scrapes,
I wish I could erase.
When my life fell apart,
You patched things up.
You took care of my heart
When times got rough.
With just the warmth of your touch,
You saved me from the world.
You loved me so much,
But my love for you was not said.
If you knew what I knew,
Maybe you'd stay home.
If you heard what I didn't say,
Maybe I wouldn't be alone.
If you could see the part of me I hid away,
Maybe you could see
How much I want you to stay
Here at home with me.
You may think I don't care
Because I never show it,
But I'll always be here,
And I hope you know it.
Wish we could go back.
We can start over again.
I don't want to be alone.
I need a brother; I need a friend.
If you think of me
While you're protecting the country,
Think of how much you mean to me
And how proud I am of you, Donny.
Remember I will be here
When you're at the battlefield.
I'll be here for you
As your love shield.
Do not leave this world
While you're overseas.
Do not leave this little girl.
Do not leave me.
If you do have to go
Before I say goodbye,
Remember I love you so
As you begin to fly.
Remember I will be here
Through and through.
Remember I will always care
Just as much as you do.
You've done so much for me,
And yet I not for you.
I hope you will forgive me
For all the things I didn't do.Latest Shared StoryI know how you feel, I do share the same thing but they're are still my brothers regardless of what they do. I'll still love them no matter what.
I will wish you and your brother good luck... -
4. Brother Trouble
Fun Poem About Mixed Feelings For An Older BrotherOf all the burdens I must bear,
My brother's number one.
Our parents really messed up there.
They've raised an awful son.
He's lazy, stubborn, rough and mean
And thinks he's boss of me.
The biggest grouch you've ever seen
And greedy as can be.
His constant teasing makes me sore.
He does it just for spite.
He cheats and brags and, furthermore,
He tickles when we fight.
Unless he stops, I swear someday
I'll punch his ugly face.
And if they'd let me have my way,
I'd shoot him into space.
But other times he's not so bad.
He's taught me lots of games.
He gave me toys and books he had
And calls me funny names.
He helps me when my homework's hard
And finds me when I hide.
He built the treehouse in our yard
And lets me play inside.
He laughs at every joke I tell
And gives me good advice.
He knows when I'm not feeling well
And treats me extra nice.
So, all in all, I'd have to say
It's better in the end
To let the no-good nuisance stay.
My brother is my friend.Latest Shared StoryA beautiful poem with childhood memories, both positive and negative. The experience of many younger brothers, I guess.

5. Me And You
Message Of Love From Sister To BrotherWe fight, yell, and we scream,
but yet we tackle everything as a team.
I love you, you are my brother;
we share so much more than just a mother.
A smile, our hair, and our eyes.
With every mistake comes more tries.
We are so different but so the same.
We share so much more than just a last name.
You are my brother; I love you so much.
I lean on you, like a crutch.
For you, I'd do anything.
Together, we are insane. -
6. To My Brother
Letter To My Brother Who Passed AwayTo my Brother:
Words are hard to describe feelings,
I have always been better with images.
Yet writing down how much I miss you,
Seems to give me more tranquility.
Writing to let go, to give this all a place.
It will never heal, it will never go away,
But just learning to give it time and space.
I can tell you how much I care,
How much I would give to have you back in my life,
But you know all of this and it won't change anything,
that's what I am learning within time,
Writing to tell you how much I have learned,
To show you that through fragility I become a stronger person
More able to understand, more able to listen and to care,
Hurt through loss, I've become yet a wiser personLatest Shared StoryMy brother died on his 12th birthday in 99. It has been 17 years, and I still think about him every day. I remember asking the nurse while he was on life support if it would be hard to deal...

7. Brothers
Poem Celebrating The Life Of A BrotherFrom the depths of my heart, come the words of a brother,
where our souls and our minds, are like that of no other.
The spirit of competition, will always be there,
in the look of our eyes, and the glance of our stare.
Protecting each other, is always a must,
good times or bad times, never losing that trust.
Like a vision of Indians, riding across desert sand,
or the heart of a Raider, when he conquers new land.
We never lacked courage, or showed too much pride,
with no thoughts of guilt, or feelings put to the side.
It's important to strive forward, and not live through regret,
but to savor the memories, and to never forget.
To be such close companions, always made me so proud,
never scared to express feelings, our emotions speak loud.
Whether it's heaven or on earth, our souls are always together,
we share that sacred bond, knowing that brothers last forever. -
8. I Miss You, My Little Bro
I love you and I wish you were home.
It hurts me to think you're so alone.
It's not the same without you here.
Why you did what you did is still unclear.
I remember when we were little and we played in the yard.
Then we'd go sit inside and play cards.
You'd look at me and smile.
Your smile used to stretch a mile.
When I had a bad day, you were the only one who could make me laugh.
It's like you were my other half.
It hurts me to see what you're going through.
It hurts even more because there's nothing I can do.
I just wish I could make it all ok,
But all I can do is pray.
I pray for you every night before I go to sleep
And every time I think I hear you creep.
Sometimes it's like you're still here.
I look at the door and wait for you to appear.
Then I realize you're not home,
And I go back to feeling so alone.
I love you so much; you just don't know,
No matter what, you'll always be my little bro.Latest Shared StoryIt feels like they ripped my heart out of my chest. I can't sleep till I've cried for hours at night. I feel empty. I don't know how to handle this pain, having to remain strong to help my...

9. Thank You, Brother
Thank you
You were there when I was sad
You were there when I was mad, thank you
You touched my heart and told me not to cry
That's one reason our love cannot die
You respected my decision
I respected you're compassion
Tell me, brother, why were you so good to me?
I screamed at you about 300 times
You were trying to help me, help me not to die
Now I know you did it for my best
You are no longer here; you are finally put to rest
You can't leave me now that I need you the most
Brother, where are you, my heart is about to burstLatest Shared StoryThis poem was really impressive for me. I really like this poem because I have a younger brother and I think this poem is all truth. God bless all siblings. Love your brothers.

10. I'm Missing You Big Brother
Brother Away In The ArmyI don't know where to begin.
The feeling I feel each passing day...
Some days I laugh, some days I cry
because things are not the same...
I need my big brother here, right by my side.
I need him to hold me close and tell me it's all right.
I need my big brother here to talk to
because not everyone will listen, but you always do.
I need my big brother, but he's gone away.
Each night before bed I sit on my knees to pray.
I pray that God will keep him safe
and that he finds someone to hold him with a warm embrace.
I pray that every day he smiles from ear to ear.
And when I say "Amen," I begin to shed a tear.
Bobby, I know what you're doin' is right,
How you'll be fighting for everyone's rights.
Oh, how I wish you were home.
Then maybe home wouldn't be so lonesome.
Because I need my big brother here, right by my side.
Though you're far away, I know everything's gonna be okay.

11. The Star & The Sky
From Sister To BrotherI guess we made it through struggle and strife.
I remember when we first started our life.
We climbed every step one in back of the other,
And if you would fall I would catch you, brother.
I was the sister, you were the brother.
If we didn't have much, we had each other.
We never seemed to wander from each other too far,
'Cause how could the Sky drift away from the Star?
Now you are a father and I am a mother,
But I'm still your sister and you're still my brother! -
12. My Brother
Looking Up To A BrotherYou're more than just a brother to me.
You are the one I look up to, you see.
I care about you more than you could know,
But sometimes I get upset when I see you go.
You found someone you loved, and she loves you back.
It was your love; it's as simple as that.
You were with her every chance you could.
I missed hanging out with you, but you never understood.
You hung out with the wrong crowd and got hooked on drugs.
You started to forget about the things that you loved.
Family and cars were what you loved,
But alcohol and drugs were what you chose.
You changed your life around,
Grew up and moved away,
But you are my brother, my idol,
And that will never change. -
13. Two Months Away
Sister To Brother I'm Going To Miss YouTwo months away
it will be May
and you will be gone.
I'm trying to forget about it
but I'm remembering
and I just have to say
you'll be missed
'cause it's only two months away.
soon you'll be graduating
and the memories
will be all that remain.
two months away
you'll be in a different lane
and I'll still be on the other one
in a lot of pain.
you're the best bro
a girl could even ask for
I just wish we had a couple years more
so I could have more memories
'cause in case you didn't know it,
May is only two months away! :( -
14. He May See Me In His Daughter
Estrangement With SiblingIt seems it's been a lifetime
Since my brother went away.
I long to see him once again
And relive those cherished days.
When I was his big sister
And looked at him with pride
And thought we'd always walk through life,
Family side by side.
But in these years he has forgotten me
And left me far behind,
But still a day does not go by
That he doesn't come to mind.
He has a growing daughter now
Whom I know I'll never meet.
She wouldn't even know me
If we passed along the street.
But I have a rather silly hope
That maybe just sometimes
There will be something that he sees in her
That may bring me to his mind.
He may see me in her smile
Or in the twinkle of her eye.
He may hear me in the sadness
Of her broken-hearted cries.
He may find me in her laughter,
In those moments filled with joy.
Or perhaps he'll notice I am there
In the lilting of her voice.
He might see me in her anger
And refusal to give in.
And in how she fights for those she loves,
The way I did for him.
She may even have a walk like me,
That same, familiar stride.
I may be in subtle nuances,
So impossible to hide.
I pray he sees me in her heart
And in the way she wants to care.
We may even look at life the same
And have dreams and hopes we share.
Although she'll never know me,
And I feel that loss each day,
She still carries just a part of me
That no one can take away.
So perhaps in silent moments,
In just an instant he may see,
There within his daughter,
A fleeting glimpse of me. -

16. Brothers - Game For A Laugh
Brother Acrostic PoemBack in the day when we were young,
Risking our necks on some great adventure,
Others would mock our idea of fun,
Telling tall tales or hiding Gran's dentures.
Hungry bellies fueled our ambition.
Each of us choosing a professional path,
Receiving awards and peer recognition.
Sibling rivals we may be, but we're always game for a laugh. -
17. My Big Brother Off to The Army
You've always been here for me,
But now you are about to leave.
I know we fuss and fight,
But I love you with all my might.
You are my big brother,
And there is no other.
No one can take your place,
And when you leave, there will be this big empty space.
We've never been really close,
But at least you have not always lived across the coast.
Because some big brothers do,
I'm really grateful for the 15 years I've lived with you.
I remember when I was small,
And I would always fall.
You were always there for me,
And I know you always will be.
You told me not to cry,
That it would be ok.
Even if I thought you lied,
It was like my big brother saved the day.
You've made me laugh, you've made me cry,
You've even helped me hide some lies.
I love you is something I don't tell you enough,
But I want you to know
When you leave it will be really tough.
I don't know how my life will be,
Without you here beside me.
You've lived with me for 15 years,
But now we're shedding our good-bye tears.
I know you have to move out,
And start a life of your own.
But promise me without a doubt,
You will never forget us back home.

19. Suffocating
The clouds are rolling in
And I can't see the sun
The raindrops seem to shatter
Any good that has become
I need someone to save me
To save me from this fog
It's trying to suffocate me
It's already begun
It fills my every being
And chokes me at the thought
That everything that used to be
Must be somehow lost
Now I can barely breathe
Yet no one is around
To save me from this torcher
To find me in this crowd.
Just hold me in your arms
And tell me its alright
I need someone to save me
Please save me tonightLatest Shared StoryThis poem is wonderful...it has touched me in soo many ways....I'm currently going through the same things right now and having a hard time in life and it just seems like its not getting any...

20. I Miss
Missing Your Brother PoemI miss you,
I miss the loud music coming
from your room,
I miss the warmth of knowing
You're just a call away,
I miss the way we fought and
played,
I miss seeing your big bright
smile,
I miss getting kicked out of
your room,
I miss seeing you here and
there,
I miss cooking you breakfast
lunch and dinner,
I miss hearing you come in
at night,
I miss making you wear your
seat belt,
I miss holding your hand to
pray,
I miss your smell,
I miss you with all my might,
I miss the way we would fight,
I miss my brother,
I miss my friend,
I miss you I love you and that's
