Brother
A special
the baby brother
the start
Tiny and beautiful
moms attention
eyes on him
cries, smiles, laughs
energy in boundless
what a joy to have this
Brother
Little Brother
Baby Brother forever
decades later
a story told to a sister
words from a heartbroken older brother
Man i love him but whats happening now is breaking my heart
Oh yea i Say , he has broken my heart a million times and yes we still love him
our baby brother
so i ask what is so special about him that this is the first time he broke your heart
Baby Brother never disrespected me
Wow I say tell me something of this relationship
Well he said
I was his big brother, he was my little brother
He looked up to me, he followed me i mean ran behind me when i would go to practice, My older brother was athletic, he played all sports, not sure why baby brother did not follow suit. Now i know where he learned to box, older brother
now i know why he can run fast chasing his older brother, love for bicycles older brother, love for cars older brother.
Older brother left for the Army and baby brother met adolescent life alone
got into a world of bad
so now we have this
lots and lots of love but lots and lots of pain.
if only little brother went on to the Military
if only he didn't replace big brother for brother in law
things would be different
I'm sorry so sorry
what can i do now to fix
nothing this is my consequence my families burden now
do i have to take the blame
I did not know better....
