Where did that baby brother go? Do tell!

My brother's baby pictures, stories tell.
A thousand words a single frame does say.
Where did that baby brother go? Do tell!

More pictures than I ever thought to tell,
from places unexpected, come my way.
My brother's baby pictures, stories tell.

My eyes see memories, begin to swell,
the memories, so many things they say.
Where did that baby brother go? Do tell!

A longing stirs within like ancient spell,
transporting me back to a different day.
My brother's baby pictures, stories tell.

A different brother than this one, he fell,
asleep into the pit on my birthday.
Where did that baby brother go? Do tell!

He's floated off, away from his sick shell,
to place unseen, so vast, yet far away.
My brother's baby pictures, stories tell.
Where did that baby brother go? Do tell!
