I will never forget the sound353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtux5iTzP3
Of my baby brother’s cry—353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHmMbIMAGf
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlvX0Bh8wa
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfmAWMxjoP
My heart too young to understand,353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEthHl1PLOL
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbB5wEUSW0
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8zPXqOfMx
A kiss upon his lips so small—353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltLNw9iudr
And in that moment, silence fell,353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEeil4SGS
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FCjTOA52N
As memory allows me to recall.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGP2oS8Dj
And when he looks at me that way,353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjr4DqcFLn
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiveZN36p
