Burning Bright

Dan, you've always been my younger brother,
of course, you were born on my eleventh birth day,
and because my heart is so full of love for you,
well, that one line leaves so much to say:

I remember the day that you were born,
I was so excited, trembling to the touch,
our mom made me go out of the room,
I was making her nervous by talking too much!!!

Of course, to this day, I still like to talk,
I think I'll start a chat show, not a bad plan,
but seriously Dan, I wanted to say I love you,
yes, you've grown into such a handsome man.

But there is one problem with your growing up,
and I know you'll have many stories to be told,
but I always thought of you as being younger,
now you're a man, well, that makes me feel old!!

I guess we've been pretty close through the years,
we became even closer on the day that Dad died,
we held onto each other through those dark days,
we wiped away each other's tears when we cried.

But now you're grown and you make me very proud,
from boy to man, you've finally, proudly come of age,
and I know that we're not alone, yes, we've got company,
you won't be alone when you walk across that stage.

Because there'll be a certain, special person watching,
yes, he'll also be proudly watching, from the heavens above,
and I'm sure that he'll also have a proud tear in his eye,
just watch, I bet at that moment, I bet we both feel his love.

I know that he'd be proud of the person you've become,
yes, we all know just how wonderful you are,
just know that if our love for you a distance,
well, it would reach beyond the furthest star.

And beyond those stars are where dreams are made,
so go outside and look to them, shining tonight,
because there, you will see the constellation of Dad's love,
and your future dreams will be there, burning bright.
