At last! You have made a journey back into my life.
But not as a dirty face, mop of curls, and angry Eyes.
Those days are long past when you would have Need of me.
Others now care for you. And I am glad.
Such joy you have brought back to me!
We cannot go back to those days.
We cannot regain all the years lost to us.
For now you are my Big Little Brother.
You are blessed with kind thoughts
That let me know you, too, regret the lost years.
For that I am grateful, and have a heart full of gratitude and happiness to once again have you in my life.
You cannot know of the many times I saw you in
Others who had mops of curls and dirty faces.
And loved them, too.
To be able to let you know that I love my Big Little Brother, for you truly are that, brings me Happiness.
I surely know that my days are not long upon this Planet,
But when I enter the other sphere, I will watch Over you, Care for you, Follow you wherever you go, as God lets me.
We played, me as if I were also a child, trying to Entertain you. To make you smile and laugh with Me.
Never fear, we shall run again through sunlit days Of Home, joined by hand and heart.
And you will always be my Big Little Brother.
