And They Look At Me
I was the oldest brother
We didn’t have a father
We all loved our mother
She made us try harder.
No man to lead the way
To hold us on his knee
Troubles came every day
They all looked at me.
To get them out of scrapes
To help them find their way
Oh for goodness sakes
A challenge every day.
They all worked with me
We tried so many things.
Times were wild and free
We grew and spread our wings.
I tried to do my best
My advice was always free
I put them to the test
And they looked at me.
We worked and played so hard
Loved each other so
Wrestled in the yard
Went where brothers go.
They did the best they could
Sometimes I didn’t see
How much they cared for me
And how they looked at me.
Now the years have passed
And memories fill my mind
Of the treasures I’ve amassed
Deep in my heart that I find.
Those moments we shared
Those moments we loved
Those moments we cared
Those brothers beloved.
They are now not with me
But I’m never alone
Because they still look at me
I know I’m never alone.
I love you guys !!!!

Having read that, I don't envy your position as the eldest (I am the eldest as the dominant twin) without a father to back you up. I know your mother stuck up for you whenever she could, but a father can have some real clout.
Your brothers are going to love this.
