To My Little Brother

I know we've grown apart
And lots of things have changed
But I want you to know
There is one thing that remains
I loved you from the moment
They brought me down the hall
You where just a minute old
So innocent and small
You had no idea 
That you already had a friend
In the form of a big sister
That would love you to the end
We did everything together
In our fenced in backyard
Tried to dig to China 
but we didn't get that far
Explored the sky around us
And learned about the stars
We've had lots of fights
And many battle scars
Mischief was abundant
And the groundings handed down
But remember little brother
I will always be around
If your ever feeling empty
Like your world, 
falling apart
I will do my best
to hold it all together
Just for you
With all my heart
