You will grow up, my little brother, <br />Just like me, in a matter of time, <br />You will face the wonder of teenage life, my brother, <br />Sweet and sour, like lemon and lime. <br /> <br />You will grow up, my little brother, <br />Unlike me, but you were a bit lucky, <br />Because you have a big brother as your tour guide, my brother, <br />So that you will not walk into adolescent in lonely <br /> <br />You will grow up, my little brother, <br />Unlike me, I was alone and knowing nothing, unexplained, <br />Who should I refer to? who should I talk to, my brother? <br />For all these changes-body, heart and soul, unexplained! <br /> <br />You will grow up, my little brother, <br />Unlike me, the other way around, simpler and uncomplicated, <br />What are the do's and don'ts, what are the right and wrong, <br />What are the normal and abnormal, clearly explained <br /> <br />You will grow up, my little brother, <br />Unlike you, you were maturing fast, <br />I have never know how to gain my self-worth and potential, <br />But I know I like arts, books, science and the green grass <br /> <br />You will grow up, my little brother, <br />Like me, in a matter of time, <br />I have forgotten how I spent those ten youthful years my brother, <br />But I recalled there were some laugh and tears from time to time! <br /> <br />Will you grow up, my brother? <br />Use the time wisely, for study, soccer, family and friends, <br />Waking up from the cocoon and fly high, <br />Spread your feathers and touch the sky.<br /><br />Ismim Putera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-my-little-brother-2/
