Chosen Family

You came into my life as my sister’s guy,

But somewhere along the way,

you became my brother by my side.

You showed me things I’d never seen before,

Opened up a whole new world behind a door.

And I may not say it

every single day,

But you mean more to me than words could ever say.

Dalton, you’re more than just my sister’s man,

You’re the kind of brother I never knew I’d have.

You’ve taught me things no one ever took the time to show,

You’ve helped me grow in ways you’ll never know.

Blood doesn’t have to make a family,

’Cause you’re my brother,

and that’s what you’ll always be.

(always be)

You’ve been there

when I needed someone around,

Picked me up

when I was down.

You never had to call yourself my brother,

You just treated me like one like no other.

And if life ever gets tough down the road,

I hope you know

you’ll never carry that load

alone.

Maybe someday

I’ll look back and realize,

How much you changed my life just by being by my side.

You didn’t have to,

but

you chose to stay,

And I’ll never forget the things you showed me along the way.

Dalton, you’re more than just my sister’s guy,

You’re my big brother for the rest of my life.

I love you like a brother,

and I hope you always know,

You’ve made me stronger everywhere I go.

No matter where this crazy life takes me,

You’ll always be family,

Not by blood, but by everything you’ve shown me.
