I will never forget the sound389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJylnAyYod
Of my baby brother’s cry—389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr4YxViB6o
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwubVuhZrom
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp9JQa0N08
My heart too young to understand,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGARUW0drF
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9KRqrR0L
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokOL2duGWh
A kiss upon his lips so small—389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCk1p7Ozq6
And in that moment, silence fell,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFQCo8hRW0
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvDVmtgRII
As memory allows me to recall.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYblQBQH2vn
And when he looks at me that way,389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuwWckP4P
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfvolDd6ld
