My Brother

By Chris, age 12 years

I have a brother, his name is Mike;
He used to have a three wheel trike;
He got Down syndrome in Mom's belly;
But like any boy he is very silly;
Jokes, laughs,and pranks galore;
Then he will beat me up some more;
I have been with him for 8 long years;
I'm surprised he has so many peers;
He is a little slow;
But he is always ready to go;
He loves to watch wrestling;
He loves to hear that "Ding, ding,ding;"
McDonalds is his favorite food;
To the T.V. he is usually glued;
He takes swimming and karate;
He is some what slow with his whole body;
He has Miss Leibmann for a teacher;
But sometimes he loves to teach her;
He has an aide but that's O.K.;
Yet he goes through life, day by day;
I'm glad to see that people understand;
So one day the disabled can make a stand;
He is a little chubby, sometimes can be mean;
I can't wait until he is a teen;
He always says, "Hello" and always is polite;
And he usually takes the bad things and makes them all right;
He hates loud noises, they sometimes make him cry;
His nick name from me would have to be "Big Guy;"
He is no different than any other;
So I will always love Mike, my brother.
