A Birthday Poem

To: Eli, my big broski

Eli, stars shine in your eyes and you don't seem to realise what it means to be your friend,
you fight for what you love, and know what is wrong,
you love what you love, and accept what you don't,
you acknowledge the difference, and continue onward,
you stand strong for yourself,
but for others alike.

Eli, even when the winds of change come, and you tremble, you continue walking,
you fear what's ahead, but know you must face it,
you know that change always happens, and embrace it,
you let the things flow, and don't get hung up,
you remember to enjoy all you have,
but remember who gave you your joy.

Eli, whether sun or rain, your smile is bright enough to warm anyone's heart,
you bring an aura with you that give smiles,
you are the sunshine of peoples' lives,
you are the friend they can trust to go to when they are down,
you are the person they consider family,
even when their own is around.

Eli, I hope you know I love you with all my heart, cause you're like a bro,
you are one of my favorite people to talk to,
you listen when I need it and give advice then too,
you make every conversation worth having,
you can make me laugh at anytime,
even when I'm blue.

Eli, this poem is coming to end, but do not start skipping lines,
you will be amazing at anything you want,
you can achieve all you dream,
you make things happen because you're you,
you are a star in many peoples' eyes,
I see you as one.

Eli, I'm so happy that I got to meet you, because you're one of the best friends I've been blessed to meet, and I don't say that often. I know you can do great things and believe in you with all my heart. Thank you for being such a cool, big, sibling to me since I've gotten to know you. Happy birthday, love you, and have a wonderful life. This isn't goodbye by any means, but only a farewell of this poem for it should always end in peace.
