I will never forget the sound390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FDTj0Uq3V
Of my baby brother’s cry—390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616F2Du1vH
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Skb6MS78M
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLem4xGQtb
My heart too young to understand,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjv4MubCVd
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HalSQGYHY
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdy5l61KLT
A kiss upon his lips so small—390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCa6FGTvyh
And in that moment, silence fell,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Tmo157Me
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkVo8diOUQ
As memory allows me to recall.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb8p6h1zJA
And when he looks at me that way,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6dlMF1Ei2
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm0uH32xL1
