Brother's Love

He lifted me from my mother's lap

And cuddled me into a warm hug

He watched me take a baby nap

And fell asleep on the matted rug

He took a pie and helped me eat

And held my hand for the first walk

I won a prize, he gave a treat

And sat there hearing my mumbling talk

We grew up and saw good times fade

Innocence vanished and even friends betrayed

His wrist still tied in the silken thread

He always stood beside paving the way i tread

Time passed, dawn broke and it my wedding day brought

With excitement was a fear of the world to which I didn't belong

He was still by my side and tied my wedding knot

And finally gave my fiance, my hand, he had held for so long!!
