Little Brother

From the moment that I held you in my arms, I knew this to be true; I was put here on this Earth- So I could protect and watch over you. Who would shield you from monsters? Who would hold you tight? Who would wipe away your tears?- And remember to leave on the hallway light? I wonder who would sing to you; As you fell asleep? Who would honor all of the- Promises that I vowed to keep? Would you feel lonely? Would I be missed? Would you beg for another sibling? What if I didn’t exist? Sometimes when I ‘push’ you- It’s so I know that you’ll be okay. I worry about you every moment; I think of you every day. I know that we fight often; We don’t always see things through. I know sometimes I blame you, For things you didn't do. I yell at you out of annoyance; And sometimes out of fear. You know that if you need me- I will always be right here. You are my brother, I sometimes tend to boast. You’re the person in my family; I always love the most. I would do anything to make you smile, To take away the pain- Even though you break my stuff, And make me go insane. I sometimes lose my patience, And other times my drive. I’m glad that you are here to hug me, And make me feel alive. I don’t often tell you- But I’m really proud. Even though you make obnoxious sounds- And you can be VERY loud! Your youth is a gift, Your innocence is a joy, I’m so glad that you are my baby brother; You’re an amazing little boy.
