For Aaron

Little brother when I held you and I bounced you in my arms
and saw you smile, heard you laugh, I felt happy and warm.

One of the best things in my life was learning to know you
from the first day of your life, and then all the way through

Little brother I can't say that I've led a perfect life
I can't say our relationship was free of pain and strife

And I'm so sorry for times I betrayed your trust in me
And never really told you just what you meant to me.

So now my brother you are grown and you have moved away
And when we meet face to face we don't know what to say

But I regret the past and I hope you'll forgive me
For my lack of understanding and insensitivity.
