Big Brother

I found out about you recently, you died before your birth.  
A long time ago, but I hope that I get the chance to see you...  
In the near future, on a paradise earth.  
I wonder how things would be if you were here, wish I could get a Preview.  
   
I had a dream about you...  
A person very much like me, but far from the same.  
Ever since I heard about you...  
I've had this picture in my head, everything minus a name.  
   
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have an older brother.  
Would I have ended up different from the person people now know as me?  
Would we be the best of friends, or totally distant from one another?  
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that there would have been a ton of things for you to show me.  
   
Like how to drive and take good care of a car.  
How to take everything less casually.  
How to be the one chosen to open the jar.  
How to wear the pants in the family.  
   
You would have inspired me to work out.  
The catalyst for my confidence to rise to the extremes.  
Maybe I would have less doubt.  
And be able to fulfill all of my dreams.  
   
You were supposed to forewarn...  
Me about the things expected of boys in our family.  
But you were never born.  
So I am now the person you were expected to be.  
   
And I'm doing okay in my own unique way.  
I'm Setting the bar for myself day after day.  
But its never too late for you, Acts 24 verse 15 shows that there is still hope.  
There will be a resurrection of the righteous & unrighteous on a global scope.  
And you were unrighteous, that's for sure. You were still just an embryo.  
It was impossible to have faith, there was nothing you could know and do.  
I don't know how, but it is possible for me to be able meet you at that time.  
But it won't be as I've wondered, for you'll be a younger brother of mine.  
   
I'll hope to watch you grow.  
Be a good brother to you.  
I`ll show you what I know.  
Teach you about Jehovah too.  
   
And I would love to see...  
you respond to the truth favorably.  
Introduce you to our friends and family.  
Spend life on a paradise Earth together eternally.  
   
I'll just have to wait and see.  
Go about my life righteously.  
Strive to do everything obediently.  
And encourage the same course for strangers, friends and family.  
   
With Jehovah God, all things are a possibility.  
He'll make this world a perfect place for me, you and everybody.  
He causes to become, gives the gift of life generously.  
We just have to accept and appreciate that gift with humility.

Author's Note
Written after i found out that my mom had a miscarriage before I was born. I am the oldest boy in my family so I write about what it might have been like to have an older brother and also the hope of seeing him in a future paradise.
