"You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you've got and remember what you had... Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret, people change, things go wrong, just remember, life goes on."

Innocent child,
All covered in cold,
Sitting so sweetly,
Surrounded by snow.

Your reddening face,
Your frost covered hands,
Your big brown eyes,
And your snow covered pants.

Just a small little baby,
Barely a year to your name,
Pure untouched snow,
Surrounding your frame.

As I watch you here,
A warmth in the cold,
Fills me up,
Penetrating my soul.

It fills me with light,
To see you here,
A small tender child,
Without any fears.

Oh how I wish you could feel,
The love radiating off me,
The way the heat from the sun,
Shines down to the earth.

If only you knew,
My small little brother,
What I would do for you,
And not for any other.

The author's comments:
I love my little brother more than anything... I would do anything for him. When he was born and I saw his face, I couldn't imagine how I'd live life without being able to look into those big, brown eyes. This is for him. I love you Erik.
