My Kid Brother

Till I was eight, 

The birth of a sibling was all I could await. 

But now I wonder - Why are you here?

I have parents with whom I would cheer.

I have grandparents to whom I am very dear,

Sharing all the love I get is now my only fear. 

After a long time, I now realize, 

You are to me my first prize. 

My dear brother, you make me feel no less wise, 

I now realize you are the apple of my eyes. 

At times I might look at you with hate, 

But for my love, you always await, even when I am angry at my stupid classmate. 

Dear Brother, I now realize,

You are the apple to my eyes.
