I will never forget the sound507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYrhKevWWa
Of my baby brother’s cry—507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDtYFgkxDE
A fragile wail, a trembling plea,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCyA861NOm
That stirred the quiet night.
I would sit beside his tiny cot,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOgGgvEGfL
My heart too young to understand,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6jKjeoH0
Yet drawn to soothe his aching tears507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHQuTLZn3L
With a gentle touch, a guiding hand.
Soft cheeks beneath my fingertips,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Cz90tKjO
A kiss upon his lips so small—507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq5y2n6TVJ
And in that moment, silence fell,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGQMHxPjR2
As he watched me, trusting, whole.
I have loved him for as long507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjWm6xdyi
As memory allows me to recall.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkEJZzrK2C
And when he looks at me that way,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKpzro1RV
I smile—for I have loved him most of all.
P.S. For my younger brother, Alex.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygIn4jHGqP
