Peering Out Of Tiny Eyes


The Grubby Hands That Gripped The Rail


Wiped The Window Clean Of Frost


As The Morning Air Laid On The Latch


A Whistle Awakened Someone There


Next Door To The Nursery Just Down The Hall


A Strange New Soundnn That Makes Boys Explore


Tread Neat So Small Those Little Feet


Amid The Morning His Small Heart Beats


So Much Excitement Yesterday


That Must Be Rewarded. Must Be Displayed.





Large Hands Lift Him Through The Air


Excited Eyes Contain Him There


The Eyes Of Those He Loves And Knows


But What's This Extra Bed Just Here


His Puzzled Head Tipped To One Side


Amazement Swims In Those Bright Green Eyes


Glancing Down Upon This Thing


That Makes Strange Sounds. Strange Sounds That Sing.





In Those Silent Happy Seconds


That Surround The Sound Of This Event


A Parent Smile Is Made In Moments


They Have Made For You A Friend


And All You Ever Learned From Them


Until You Grew Much Older


Did Not Compare With When They Said


This Is Your Brand New Brother.


This Is Your Brand New Brother.
