Yes we argue all the time Yes we annoy each other Yes we get on each others nerves But he is still my brother
I decided to go for a walk Despite the pouring rain To make the most of every minute And my brother came
He had the choice to stay in the warm But he chose to go with his sister We walked along a winding path He told her that he missed her
Its unusual for him to show How he feels inside He's never usually that forthcoming With emotional pride
So we walked, and enjoyed it Then we came across a stream It had a little footbridge over A picture perfect dream
It may have been raining For more than a little while But secretely I had an idea So I told him with a smile
'Danny! Go find a stick' We have a game to play We haven't played pooh sticks In forever and a day!'
He grinned at me, his eyes twinkled And he did just what I said It wasn't long until we were Going head to head!
But then it was his turn To come up with a game So he went down to the stony bank And then he called my name
I turned to look and there he was Skimming stones across the water He took me by the arm, Grabbed his sister and taught her
It was a strangely perfect time Just me and him together Playing silly children's games In the pouring weather
It reminded me of how much I really do love my brother He's my sidekick, my partner in crime We have each other covered
Yes we hurl insults at each other Yes we fight and start But without my brother I'd be missing A vital piece of my heart
