For Joshua Efros upon the Occasion of Becoming a Big Brother To New Baby Sister, Jordyn Rachel January 26, 2014 _____________________________________ Dear Joshua: Mazel Tov! You are no longer alone, for you have received life’s greatest gift Rejoice! You have a baby sister to love, to hold, to teach, to grow and play alongside I saw that early picture of you, watching over Jordyn for the first time; an auspicious Beginning to the lifelong task big brothers have fulfilled since time immemorial. At first, it may seem like an awful lot of fuss and bother over someone so tiny But that is what baby sisters are; someone to fuss and bother over… for life Hug her now, hug her then, hug her when she is high; when she is feeling low Never let her hand slip from yours; literally or metaphorically; siblings forever. When you inevitably tussle and argue, remember to always to forgive AND forget Because life is fleeting and Jordyn Rachel will be the most precious thing therein Many others will come and go; friends, classmates, teachers, coaches and the like But big brother to baby sister, Jordyn Rachel, you’ll be for the rest of your life. Protect her from rumbling thunder; when heated, soothe her fevered brow When she cries out, run right to her as fast as your feet and legs allow When her Lego house falls to pieces, fix it right up and show her how You must be all things for her at all times; step up and take that vow. Be a big brother she’ll look up to; eyes clear, back straight, mind true Always be the one she can turn too; be a man for her true blue Do all you can, be a good man; dedicated to your baby sister new Do it right from the start of her life and all your life she will love you. Congratulations Joshua Efros as you embark on life with Jordyn Rachel!
