I entered this poem onto a NZ Poetry Competition. It won 1st Prize and was published.
Thank you and I love you

Blonde hair sparkling with gel
Blue eyes a deep ocean
Oversized feet clomp around
Cracking jokes all day
Whiskers wild on your chin
Short and clumsy walking about
A grin as big as can be
The dominant one of your features
Personality happy and bold
But caring all the same
Wondering weekly of the worldly
Tales that you tell
Always unprepared
For the stitches that are felt
Tears of laughter
Tears of pain
We share them once again
You wouldn’t have guessed
Or even thought
That I need you in my life
You are my boat
My floating device
From all things bad and wrong
You bring renewed hope
When things seem so blue
Making a rainbow
Out of anything you use
When I’m scared and don’t know what to do
You come along and help me get through
We are different but the same
Big brother I want to say
Thank you and I love you
Forever and always
