Analysis of Birthday for Terry
When I start to think of
The birthday of my older brother
It reminds me how I care for him
Unlike any other
I see him as an enamored heart
From what I've seen he gives to all
Especially to his considerate lady
And hid children who still are small
Even though it's not seen
As much as I'd care to show
The reverence is still there
Hidden just below
But on this jubilant day
I'll show my obscure way
By giving a great big hug
And saying "I love you bro and happy birthday"
