I was there when you were born, br everyone said that you looked like an angel. br For me you were an angel. br The nurse put you in my arms br and I was trembling.. br I was afraid to hold you, br I was told that babies are fragile, br you only turn up to be fragile later on. br br I watched you grow. br I was there when you said your first word, br when you took your first step, br when your first tooth appeared br and you smiled at me with a relief. br br I knew you loved me.. br I could see it in your eyes, br when you were looking at me br with all the innocence of the world. br I could feel it in your touch, br each time you held my hand br and hid behind me br when grownups were making fool of themselves br trying to make you smile. br br Every afternoon, br after a tiring day, br when for everyone else br I had no time to spare, br I always had time for you, br my precious baby brother. br You drew a yellow circle, br with a few wavy lines br and you shouted with pride: Sun! br It was the prettiest sun I had ever seen. br At nights you liked bed time stories, br with mean dragons, br brave knights br and imprisoned princesses. br br You said that when you grow up br you want to be a knight with a shiny panoply br or at least an astronaut. br Instead you became an angel br and you flew away one sunny afternoon.. br Since then, br every time I feel sad, br I sense the warmth of my guardian angel's wings, br and I have no doubt that br they are your wings..
