What Brothers are For

 

My brother runs to me 

on his tiny feet

brown hair flying everywhere

thump, thump, thump, thump”

 

When he sees me he cries

Lina!”

and watches silently

with kind eyes

 

When I’m alone he asks

to play soccer together

“You play with me?”

 

But when angry he

punches and kicks

punch, punch, kick, kick”

 

But after all at night he tells me,

“Goodnight sis”

and hugs me

 

For I love him, and he loves me

for family is made to

love each other
