Brotherly Love

Curling into him feeling his tiny breaths, Looking over him to stable his dreams Wondering when he will talk Gazing at his tiny fingers So life like but so small I am his guide and I will protect I will guide his ambitions, dreams and questions An oyster to a pearl enclosed Warmth to a hand comfortably hiding Pocketed inside for rest from the world What are you dreaming my baby brother Know I will always be your side Two soldiering stars together shining from up above Experiencing the pure beauty of something called Brotherly love Claire Burke 03/05/2011 (Brotherly Love)
