Jonny
I have only known you for such a short time
But it feels like it's been longer
Like I've known you all my life
We met almost a year ago
and we quickly became friends
I hope we'll always be that way
Until your time here ends
You've been like a big brother to me
something I've always wanted
I know you'll always be there for me
Even when I don't want it
You have quickly become my best friend
And I hope you'll never leave
'Cause if you did I'd be alone
And there'd be no one here for me
I want you to be at my wedding
To walk me down the aisle
I want you be there and hand me off
As if I were your child
You have helped me grow and become who I want to be
You have taught me that there is real beauty in just being me
And time will fly as the years pass by
But I hope you know where you'll stay
In my heart I will always keep you
Until my dying day
And even though I know that one day you'll have to go
I will be here forever as your sister
I just wanted to let you know
That when you leave and go home to begin your new career
I will remain here holding you in my heart
So you are always near
But it's not today and it's not tomorrow
So, let's not live our lives already deep in sorrow
I am looking forward to the coming years
Just thinking about it makes me so happy
Because I know you'll still be here
I thank God every night for letting me be your friend
Because I know you will always be my brother
Until the very end
Thank you, Jonny, for showing me the light
Thank you for showing me what being protected feels like
Thanks for talking to me about anything and everything
Thank you for showing me what true friendship can mean
You are my late night conversation
You are an example of love without expectation
You are someone I look up to
You're my best buddy, Jonny
You make me feel wild and free
and you mean everything to me!!!
Dedicated to #5 Jonathan H.,
MY BIG BROTHER!!!
