You're too young to understand
But you're growing up
And it brings tears to my eyes
I've cherished the ground you walk on
You are my little brother
and I love you
There are times that you've hated me
You've blamed me for things you did
And sometimes
I took the fall
To protect you
I've never liked the saying
"You're too young to understand"
Yet I'm saying it now
Because you are seven now
and you don't know why I'm not around
I see you very little now
A big change from taking care of you
It's been awhile since I've seen you
And I can't get you out my head
You're big blue eyes
and golden hair
Your sweet voice
and your small hugs
When I heard your voice on the phone
I almost cried
You told me about all the things going on
and I'm missing out
You are important to me
and even if you tell me that you hate me
I will always love you
I will always look out for you
Even if it's from afar
This is how much I love you
Even if you hate me
Author notes
My little brother and I have a very... complicated relationship. It's rare that I see him, and he hates me a little bit for it, he doesn't understand why one day I was taking care of him, and the next I was gone and not to come see him for awhile. I love him though and do everything in my ability to help him, even if he doesn't know or doesnt' understand

I want to tell me exactly what you think. Don't candy coat the truth.

You know what I think you should do? You should make this look really nice *don't change any of the words or anything* and frame, then give it to him when he's old enough to understand. He might really appreciate it. I know I would. You truly do love your brother and I can seriously feel it radiating from the computer screen! lol
Fabulous job! thank you and good luck!
