Wonderful Siblings 

They tease you till your face is blue

When you whine

 they  can't hear you;

They make you laugh 

They make you cry

But somehow you love them

Though you wonder why

They dry your tears 

Yet make them too

And your stuck with them

And they with you

But though they tease 

And taught and blame

We somehow love them

Just the same

Because in the end

Through some strange law

You love each other

Despite your flaws

Despite the teasing

with no real end

We know that they 

Are truly friends

We know 

that though they give us crap

In the end they've got our back

They teach us things we later need

Though we may not see it 

Past the tease

But siblings are a wondrous thing

Though admittedly 

Such complex beings

But as we grow

we start to see

What siblings mean 

To you and me

 friends and guardians

From the start

The relationship is

A perplexing art

But thank goodness we have them

Our siblings,

Our friends,

Because they are the ones

That are there in the end

They are the ones 

Who know who you are

And they love you both near

And if so very far.

They stick up for you always

when life has you down

They will help you keep swimming

When you fell like you'll drown

They are the friends 

That you want by your side

for they are the ones 

That endure life's whole ride

Though they push all your buttons

They love you and care

And in the end, 

They are the ones who'll be there.
