My Brother

Whenever he smiles

I feel like I have gone several miles

Whenever I made him cry

To be a mother I try

Whenever he tries to speak

I feel like standing on the peak

Whenever I lift him up

I feel like holding a trophy cup

Whenever he steps forward

I leave him the way by moving backward

Whenever he writes

I taught him to be always right

Whenever he feels uncomfortable

I made his comfort, able

Whenever he commits mistakes

I corrected him though it aches

Whenever he is sad

I taught him to be glad

Whenever he fears

I told him in the ears

That –

“I’ll be always near

You to bear with your tears

Remember, there is a maid

When you are afraid”.
