What Are Brothers for?

by Jasmine Hook

What are brothers for?

Finding all their clothes on the floor

Building forts, having their support

Is that what brothers are for?

Fighting, biting, lying

Is that what brothers are for?

Opening and slamming doors

I couldn’t ask for much more

I am sure our bond is pure

Even though they are a lot to endure

They are loud, louder than a huge crowd

My brothers seem tough and buff but they are really lost and soft

I don’t know what are brothers for

but as long as they got me and I got them,

I don’t need to find the answer
