You're my brother, 
a different mother.
To take your place would be impossible. 
You're what a brother's supposed to be. 

You encourage me, 
you always make me laugh. 
You always make me smile, 
I'm sorry about the past. 

That is all over at last. 
It wasn't clear to me, 
I didn't know what a great friend you would turn out to be. 

Thank you for your prayers, 
they always help me. 
Thank you for you caring for me. 
It helps me to see I never need to worry.
