I am twenty-three years older
than my older brother.
Some days, I truly miss him.
He would have been
a wonderful grandfather,
and great-grandfather too.
I hear him whisper, “Not to worry,
I’ve watched over them
all these years.
I see them from the galaxy.
I look down on them every night
through the eyes of the stars.”

“Twenty-three years older” – hadn’t thought of it that way. I’d be twenty years older than my oldest sister. Sounds like a long time but they are never far from our hearts and minds, are they?
