Happy Birthday 2012, Michael

March 3rd

So many brothers I know are just fine yet

I would not trade the world for mine.

He is kind and smart, handsome and giving.

He is there for me always,

without fail he is loving ... in ‘all creatures big and small’ ways.

Sure, we had our spats in our younger days but

now, as we get more set in our ways

our bond is as special as Grandma Lalla’s pound cake lemon glaze.

Made with love it was so complete.

That glaze was such a yummy treat.

She made it just for you, because

you are just as sweet, oh dear brother of mine.

I am so grateful, my brother, we have each other.

After all, siblings are the only ones who share the

Mitochondrial DNA with one another (ha).

That said, no other ‘understanding’ can compete.

Happy Birthday, Michael.

May all your days be bright.

Thank you for all the guidance and insight.

There is goodness and love in all you see and touch.

Happy Birthday, Michael.

I love you so much.

Love,

Pooh
