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