A Brother's Love

When Mommy got pregnant, that’s when my life began, And I was hoping not to be an only child. “I better have a brother,” I thought, “I’m a big fan, Because then he could show me how to be really wild.” When Mommy went into labor, I got kind of scared And I wasn’t sure if I was ready for a new world. Even after nine months, I wasn’t at all prepared To see you standing there, my sister…a girl! Right away, all the attention then focused on me, And I almost felt as if no one else mattered. But when you took me home, I knew where I should be, With my big sister, where my heart would never be shattered. It’s been over a year and I didn’t forget The promise that you whispered to me when I arrived. I know you’ll be there no matter how bad things get And I’ll be the best brother I can while I’m alive.
