Eventually, Peace Came!
Our youngest son was little and as cute as he could be.
But his older brother would tease him & really irritate me.
“If you don’t behave,” I’d say, “I’ll smack your behind.”
When I got busy elsewhere, out of site out of mind.
He did dreadful things to Tommy, and made him so uptight.
His little nerves were frayed; he was higher than a kite.
Someday he will be taller and put Jimmy in his place.
I hope and pray that I am there to see his bewildered face.
Jimmy loved his little brother I had no doubt of that.
But that didn’t stop him from acting like a little brat.
No matter how I punished him, nothing seemed to work.
He’d march to his bedroom with a tiny crooked smirk.
I prayed hard that Jimmy would see the error of his ways.
But he found more exciting means to ruin Tommy’s days.
Tommy idolized his brother but was annoyed with him too.
For all the things Jimmy did to him, everyday something new.
Eventually, peace did come and they became such pals.
I think it was when both became aware, of all the real cute gals.
And as the years went by, there bond grew very tight.
There was no bond tighter, both knowing wrong from right.
Time heals all wounds, and corrects all wrongs.
I’ve read it in the Bible, I hear it in the songs.
Because of all the teasing, Tom's character and strength excelled.
And his big brother was always there, when his little brother fell.
