I wrote the poem a couple years ago
I remember a dark and stormy night.
I was sleeping like a baby without fright.
Until a deafining crack and rumble
Shook the room with a blinding flash.
I remember jumping awake
Shrieking over the pitter patter of rain.
I felt I'd cry myself a lake.
My efforts to fall asleep were in vain.
I remember a hand resting on my shivering shoulder.
I heard my brother's exhausted, yet comforting voice.
I saw his short silhouette nestle under my green covers.
I rested my head near his red bosom.
I remember falling into a peaceful slumber
Never letting go of my sheltering brother.
