To My Brother

Together Forever

By: None other than Raakin Hossain

You took the blame,

When the misdeed was under my name,

You observed patience,

The last seventeen years since.

We were together through all the phases,

Love, hate, good, bad, insults, and praises.

You know my deepest and darkest secrets,

My feelings, my hopes, and my regrets.

My constant chatting and laughing eats up your brain,

And sometimes our anger for each other does not contain,

Regardless, we always make our amends,

And move on without meeting dead ends.

The fire of our family burns stronger with your wife’s addition,

Within the first two weeks she observed the Hossain love and admonition.

With indescribable feelings and expressions,

Nothing can come between us, no possessions, no recessions.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,

Now you’re married, what a great trust!

I pray for your best,

And with Allah is the rest.

Certain parts of the poem had some puns which only my brother will understand. Namely, the line with “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust”. I believe I quoted the bible, but there’s also a secret language behind it.

Gotta love them older siblings. ;]
