My Baby Brother

This poem is for Vijay my brother . . . I remember the days I fought with him for really silly matters but i have always loved him like my kid . . . he well knows that but i dunno how much he is gonna accept the fact that he is still the baby I remember with two front tooth gone and a smile that could light up the whole world . . .

(I still remember when you were angry with me and frowning when i compelled to pose for this photo. But I wont tell why . . . )

You are still my pet Vijay . . . and you always will . . .

I never knew you as my brother,
I know you as my kid I love and protect,
I know you as my kid I care and cherish,
I saw myself as a knight to slay the dragons,
If ever I saw tears and pain in your eyes.

I am far away but not so far,
You are a living thought I cherish.
You are grown and a man to everyone,
But for me, you are the new born I saw then,
And the baby I watched take every step.

You are the greatest gift I ever had,
And the lovely person I always will love,
My little Bro', I still find hard to believe,
You are not the baby I held 19 years ago,
I dont wanna believe coz' you're still My Baby Brother . . .
