Peering out of tiny eyes
The grubby hands that grip the rail
Wipe the window clean of frost
As the morning air laid on the latch

Whistle awaken 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 'neath so small those little feet
Amid the morning a small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
It 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 makes
Strange sounds, strange sounds that sing

In those silent happy seconds that
Surround the sound of this event
A parent's 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
