Seem So Little

Folder: 
Cute (G)

And all these years

I thought I

Was the big guy



In your head

Are things that dwarf me



And all these years

I thought I

Was the tough one



I think the words

That you say with ease



And all these years

I thought I

Could find peace in the past



I now know you can only

Read a book the first time once



And all these years

You were the little brother



Now?

You don't seem so little

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To a brother that has been grown up much longer than I've given him credit for. Cheers, Ben.

It's amazing how one keeps younger siblings always young..forgetting that as we grow up, they are doing so also..as well as growing wiser through their own experiences. This is a beautifully written tribute to a brother. I wish I could borrow upon it, but I have 2 mutant older brothers who still are rotten buggers. (Ok, ok, so I love 'em, but that will NEVER hold up in a court of Canadian law) lol.

Pax,
