with strength, a shelter he forms.
Safety lies within him; my home.
If I ever fall, stumble upon a hole,
my father's arms will be there, for me to hold.
and with a voice, none other than his own:
so soothing, so deep; he wakes me up.
my father puts me together, and keeps me going on.

soft, and like rubies, red.
Those ruby gems I own.
For, unafraid, she leaves them shared.
My mother's lips are more valuable than gold.
Through them she spreads her love.
and; if, from me, they (shall) ever stand away,
Their warmth I will forever crave

straight and tall, with confidence; he shines.
He is beauty in person: Sunlight.
yet, some light he still hides inside.
what keeps you from leaving us blind,(from) shining so bright?
blast your light! Illuminate (us) with might!
(for) you will never wear out, splendid you are, sun.
rays will always reach me, my soul.
Juan you are, . My brother, My blood.
Your beams shall always shine within me!

from a bud to a flower I watched him bloom.
Within those petals, a place of great wisdom.
Through his path, he left a trail of prints on the sand.
In admiration, I follow them from behind.
beyond a messy cover, lies a beautiful mind.
unique, a priviledge not all of us have.
hard to see for those who are blind.
And blind I am not, for I can see.
Through his eyes, into his mind.
Amir, my beloved brother: I can see!
