My Baby Brother

Through the eyes of Amy

When first I saw you in mummy’s arms

I was so besotted with your charms

Your tiny hands and dainty face

Did so make my heart race

With deep blue eyes that brightly glow

The perils of life they are yet to know

I’ll keep you safe with loving care

When trouble comes together we’ll share

I sometimes sit and watch you sleep

Then to my bed I slowly creep

Until the morn I hear you cry

Don’t worry Tom, I’m always nigh

I always wonder of what you dream

I do so wish it could be seen

Perhaps our dreams they are akin

The mystic fantasies that lay within

Of the round table, you maybe a knight

For damsel’s virtues you vow to fight

Or a pirate with a quest

For gold doubloons and treasure chest.

When you grow, we may drift apart

There’s someone else to share your heart

She’ll give you love in different ways

Until the ending of your days

When that day comes, I’ll stand aside

And give my blessings to your new bride

Although there may, now be another

You will always be my baby brother

I love you Tom
