Peering out of tiny eyes
  The grubby hands that gripped the rail
  Wiped the window clean of frost
  As the morning air laid on the latch
    A whistle awakened someone there
  Next door to the nursery just down the hall
  A strange new sound you never heard before
  A strange new sound that makes boys explore
    Tread neat so small those little feet
  Amid the morning his small heart beats
  So much excitement yesterday
  That must be rewarded must be displayed
    Large hands lift him through the air
  Excited eyes contain him there
  The eyes of those he loves and knows
  But what's this extra bed just here
    His puzzled head tipped to one side
  Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
  Glancing down upon this thing
  That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
    In those silent happy seconds
  That surround the sound of this event
  A parent smile is made in moments
  They have made for you a friend
    And all you ever learned from them
  Until you grew much older
  Did not compare with when they said
  This is your brand new brother
  This is your brand new brother
  This is your brand new brother
