"Tall Little Brother" - by Muskan Begum of B.Sc FSZC Second Year

My younger brother tall and bold,

Annoys me more than I can hold.

He bugs me, all day makes me shout,

I tell him I don't like him, there's no doubt.

I tell him “I don’t like you” in a angry tone,

But, when he's not near I feel so alone.

Deep down inside my love for him grows,

More than anyone else but he never knows.

His teasing ways drive me mad,

Yet, deep inside I love him most of all.

Though, I speak rudely act tough and mean,

My heart holds a love that's deeply unseen.

To protect and cherish deep within,

My annoying but beloved little kid.

Even though I may act tough,

My love for him is more than enough.

For my brother annoying yet dear,

My feelings for him are crystal clear.

He’s my family my heart’s delight,

Even when we argue, even when we fight.
