Tiny Beautiful One

Tender fingers, a voice so mild.

Tender thoughts, an innocent flare – your smile.

Bony fingers, cold yet comforting.

To held them brings me light.

Someone to hold onto when I cry,

Someone to hold onto when I smile.

Spontaneous, your jokes and pranks.

I make a little fool of myself to see that glint of a delight.

You are the tiny beautiful thing that has happened to me, dear brother.

Just everything that I wish for in a brother, if I had one.

Petty fights and plenty of love.
