Amid the morning his small heart beats
That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
Did not compare with when they said
Glancing down upon this thing
In those silent happy seconds
This is your brand new brother
And all you ever learned from them
Large hands lift him through the air
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
Tread neat so small those little feet
They have made for you a friend
But what's this extra bed just here
Excited eyes contain him there
A parent smile is made in moments
So much excitement yesterday
Wiped the window clean of frost
A strange new sound that makes boys explore
As the morning air laid on the latch
A whistle awakened someone there
This is your brand new brother
Until you grew much older
That must be rewarded, must be displayed
That surround the sound of this event
The eyes of those he loves and knows
His puzzled head tipped to one side
A strange new sound you never heard before
Next door to the nursery, just down the hall
