I will never forget the sound487Please respect copyright.PENANAmajt9SmduB
Of my baby brother’s cry—487Please respect copyright.PENANAN0fDeJJQ0N
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,487Please respect copyright.PENANAcjbItpABzr
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,487Please respect copyright.PENANAa381GlHaNu
My heart too young to understand,487Please respect copyright.PENANAhq8kUTz8iC
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears487Please respect copyright.PENANA2tJzqDocRD
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,487Please respect copyright.PENANAgfB9uPzij9
A kiss upon his lips so small—487Please respect copyright.PENANA8ykZord19U
And in that moment, silence fell,487Please respect copyright.PENANA9USysAbwVD
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long487Please respect copyright.PENANA9F2z3GErOq
As memory allows me to recall.487Please respect copyright.PENANA8RNnZhlcfy
And when he looks at me that way,487Please respect copyright.PENANAKv4a0Bs0jK
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.487Please respect copyright.PENANAnzarJ08upB
