The New Brother

by Leona (Heathisforme)

 

 

They sat by the firelight

In the twinkling night

As they sat nursing their drinks

Listening to their thinks.

 

Their lives had been varied

Not quite as harried.

A new brother to love and care,

All new experiences to share.

 

As they sat around the firelight

Trying to figure wrong from right

They were liking their new brother

Who was like no other

 

They shared a laugh or two

Away the night flew.

They liked this new brother,

Whom they didn’t want to smother

 

They stared at each other

And at their new brother

They saw him as a friend,

A brother to the end.

 

Morning came quick and bright

They saw the morning light

They moved from their bed

And to the spring he led.

 

Fishing pole in hand

They spoke of the land

They all loved so well

And the man who fell.

 

They went home, elated

Welcoming him belated.

This new brother fit into the clan

And it seemed all part of the plan.
