I will never forget the sound719Please respect copyright.PENANATx0YwcFDLq
Of my baby brother’s cry—719Please respect copyright.PENANAxu1Ze1B1Cj
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,719Please respect copyright.PENANA2wBRDGTJj3
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,719Please respect copyright.PENANAugfYDCu4wl
My heart too young to understand,719Please respect copyright.PENANAGQcTTqE0l3
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears719Please respect copyright.PENANA85hgu7IWVp
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,719Please respect copyright.PENANAynZXwK8SpP
A kiss upon his lips so small—719Please respect copyright.PENANAnyCI8Fxn9s
And in that moment, silence fell,719Please respect copyright.PENANAkmDhdwBgIb
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long719Please respect copyright.PENANALXf309Jkr2
As memory allows me to recall.719Please respect copyright.PENANAqIO9b6AhZI
And when he looks at me that way,719Please respect copyright.PENANAQui5BTQxhe
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.719Please respect copyright.PENANA9YIXZoF7dg
