there was a time
when words
would spill from our mouths
like water running through a spigot
children, were we,
repeating what we'd heard

but like a lullaby,
it was our ritual
said quickly
and rhythmically

some of the words
were lost in the spiel
but the important ones
were always there...

we grew older
and the words began
to feel their meaning--
not so quickly said tonight
sometimes interrupted
with your echo--
or mine...

i want to tell you brother,
i remember still,
the simple words
that came to mean so much
this night, let me sing to you again
the lullaby we started as children,
separating each verse,
to feel its warmth...

"goodnite" dear brother...
"i love you" ...always...
"i'll see you in the morning..."
or
at least,
in the morrow...

mm.. your words are very true. Many children always tend to have many things to say, without any second thoughts about it.. but that changes. . and thats not necessarily a bad thing!

dgvarner... Sometimes I don't think I'm as close to my sister as I should be. Very soon she's going to need all the support she can get, and I want to be part of that. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and heart felt poem with us.
