The Greatest Discovery
Peering out of tiny eyesThe grubby hands that gripped the railWiped the window clean of frostAs the morning air laid on the latch
A whistle awakened someone thereNext door to the nursery just down the hallA strange new sound you never heard beforeA strange new sound that makes boys explore
Tread neat so small those little feetAmid the morning his small heart beatsSo much excitement yesterdayThat must be rewarded must be displayed
Large hands lift him through the airExcited eyes contain him thereThe eyes of those he loves and knowsBut what's this extra bed just here
His puzzled head tipped to one sideAmazement swims in those bright green eyesGlancing down upon this thingThat make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
In those silent happy secondsThat surround the sound of this eventA parent smile is made in momentsThey have made for you a friend
And all you ever learned from themUntil you grew much olderDid not compare with when they saidThis is your brand new brotherThis is your brand new brotherThis is your brand new brother
