Unknown, "Life Gave Me A Little Brother"

I remember when I was little how much I wanted a baby brother. I use to always make wishes whenever I saw a wishing well and I remember how much I never gave up. I was in the 6th grade when my mother came out with the news that she was pregnant. I was so excited and I remember hoping and praying that it would be a boy. The day my mother went to get her ultrasound and the nurse showed us it was a boy, I became so happy because I was finally going to have a baby brother. The following is a poem I would like to dedicate to my baby brother:







"Life gave me a little brother
to teach me about life.
He loves me,
Aggravates me,
and gives me strength and strife.
Thank goodness for my brother
He is as special as can be
Don't mess with my little brother
- or you'll have to mess with me!"

The author uses antithesis an entire sentence to describe what a little brother does and also, too create a pattern to make the poem look and sound nice. I really like the ending of the poem because I always say that to people that mess with my little brother. Also, I do feel that my little brother was sent to me and my family to teach me about life.
