Brothers—sometimes they tease us, sometimes they challenge us, but through it all, they hold a special place in our hearts.

As kids, a brother might have been the one who borrowed your stuff or played the prankster. But over the years, that same brother can grow to be one of your closest friends—someone who understands your past and stands with you in the present.

The poems in this collection reflect the many sides of having a brother—from the laughs to the lessons, from the childhood memories to the bond that lasts a lifetime.

Whether short or long, each verse offers a heartfelt way to share your thoughts and appreciation. Let these poems help you express what sometimes words alone can't say.


  1. Brother, Oh Brother

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Brother, oh brother, where would I be without you
    Over the years you have helped me in all I do.
    You have been an encourager and a big fan
    In my opinion, you're the best in the clan!

    You are always willing to lend a hand
    And you always had time to listen and understand
    Brothers like you are far and few
    What would I ever do without you?

    We have shared many tears
    Over the past years
    But also we have had more
    Fun times galore!

    Siblings we are, but now best friends
    I will always be here for you to the end.
    I just want to say thank you, my brother,
    There truly is no other!




  2. Growing Up

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Growing up I was always to blame
    You just sat and smiled all the same
    No matter what I did
    You always blamed "the kid".

    And in the middle of the night
    You would sneak around and give me a fright
    And there were times when I would hide
    And you would look for me high and wide.

    And you always loved the snow
    You made snowmen just for show
    You always did well on the tests
    You were smarter than the rest.

    And as a teenager, you thought you were cool
    The girls would look at you and drool
    I would roll my eyes and sigh
    If they only knew, they would cry.

    Oh the memories of so long ago
    Yes, when we were kids we didn't know
    What great friends we would be
    As we got older and more crazy!

    So you, my dear brother, I have a bond
    Of you, I have grown so fond
    You're the best brother a girl could have
    Even if you almost drove me mad!

  4. My Brother, My Friend

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    We've shared some laughs, the kind that stay,
    The silly moments that made our day.
    We’ve had our times of getting mad,
    But even then, I wasn’t sad.

    You tease me still, like brothers do,
    But deep inside, I still thank you.
    For every time I’ve needed you near,
    You’ve stood beside me, year by year.

    No matter what we’ve faced or done,
    You're more than just my parent's son.
    You’re strength, you’re fun, you’re tried and true—
    And I can always count on you.




  5. Where Did The Years Go

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Where did the years go
    It seems like so long ago!
    We were kids and teased each other so
    We would play and have fun in the snow.

    We would play tricks and giggle
    And we would dance like a wiggle
    Where did the years go
    It seems like so long ago!

    Now here you another birthday
    And you have gone a bit gray
    But hey my brother that is okay
    As we still love you every day!




  6. You were first a bother, then a brother, now a friend!

  7. A Brother Dear

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Happy Birthday to a brother who is dear
    As you read this I can see your grin ear to ear
    Yes it is me your sister saying your dear
    Did you ever think those words you would hear?

    But you, my brother, you're the best
    Your age shows you're reaching the crest
    It's over the hill for you now
    So let your sister, please allow

    A song I want to sing for you
    Siblings we will always be that's true
    And with the age, you are now at
    It's okay you're a little fat.

    All joking aside, I wish you a Happy Day
    May you enjoy it in every way
    We want you to know we are always there
    And for you, we do care!




  8. If Any

    Poet: Unknown

    If any little love of mine
    May make a life the sweeter,

    If any little care of mine
    May make a friend's the fleeter,

    If any lift of mine may ease
    The burden of another,

    God give me love and care and strength
    To help my toiling brother.




  9. A Better Place

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    This world would be a better place
    If we forgave each other and gave some grace
    When others do wrong we are quick to blame
    But many times we are the same.

    Brotherhood of man can be
    A realization can't you see
    Helping each other, lending a hand
    Rather than anger and demands.

    Rather than judge each other
    We should act more like brothers
    Loving one another changes things
    And peace to the world it would bring.



  10. Brotherhood of man can be A realization can't you see Helping each other, lending a hand Rather than anger and demands.

  11. Powder Puff

    Poet: Kate Summers

    My brother appears so rough and gruff
    But really he is a powder puff.
    He puts on a good front
    And occasionally lets out a grunt.

    But one thing for sure I know
    To him, I can always go
    I am thankful for this man
    And thankful for our clan.




  12. The Best

    Poet: Kate Summers

    Siblings fight and tease each other
    Oh I think back to my brother
    He was younger but that didn't matter
    When we were together there was much chatter.

    "Please get along" my Mom would say
    "You will be good friends someday."
    I couldn't imagine that coming true
    I really thought she didn't have a clue.

    But now we older and friends we are
    You even let me borrow your car
    I couldn't ask for a better brother
    You're the best, I wouldn't trade you for another.
