Big Brother

[adalger]

Sometimes I hide
Under my bed,
Eyes open wide,
And I remember what she said.

Sometimes at night,
Heart beating fast,
Waiting for the light,
I hide and think about the past.

Once, long ago,
Mom told me this:
She had a son,
And I was once a little sis.

Sometimes I lurk
Back of the shelves,
'Cause my brother Kirk --
My parents sold him to the elves!
