Little Brother

Little brother, do stand up high And reach for my hand Whilst I wipe your tears And guide you past my stumbling toys Like a drunken sailor with a blubbering cold You latch on tight, like an Octopus bite And catch my eye with that naive smile To push-on by and walk with pride No need for hands Just a mischievous smirk As you wave bye-bye With my favourite toy!

Lovely, cute poem, Mark! We were 7 brothers and sisters, but had hardly any toys to share, yet we enjoyed ourselves inventing our own games! Congrats on your fine win. // paul
