I will never forget the sound407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hgTiVqcLh
Of my baby brother’s cry—407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucXbf6n2s9
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KZOhM0HaF
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKABJUKqaKx
My heart too young to understand,407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxIXqqpxAT
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CvyJDnMha
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4rmSnepxJ
A kiss upon his lips so small—407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyWzmWmjTx
And in that moment, silence fell,407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKcbmo9aO7
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktRMX2sbD5
As memory allows me to recall.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s113ZgeTV
And when he looks at me that way,407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgizEhmEset
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh8FmwbvKc
