I was the middle
Before the brother
It was just us girls
Before the brother
We had a petting zoo
Then with brother
Germs became monsterous
Then with brother
Vaccines became a must
That brother
Born in illness
Similar to me
Yet multiplied extreme
I never got to see him
When he was a baby
Constant hospitalizations
He was kept in isolation
Little did I know
He was to be
One of my people
One of my best friends
As we aged together
He grew to be
Amazing alike my sisters
Yet his life expectancy
Was told to be short
At age seven I learned
Depression and death
At age seven
I learned
To fear my brother's
Liquidizing lungs
