Poetry Friday: I love you well, my little brother!

Amy Ludwig VanDerwater  at The Poem Farm 
is hosting this week's round-up of poetic goodness.
Today's "Facts" poem in her month long narrative journey for 
Poetry Month shares all the things John has learned about
Miss Betsy. Check it out!


I recently pulled this book off my shelf to take to Jack's house. 

I flipped through a few pages revisiting favorite rhymes and that's when I rediscovered this page and this rhyme:

"I love you well, my little brother,
And you are fond of me;
Let us be kind to one another,
As brothers ought to be. 

You shall learn to play with me,
And learn to use my toys;
And then I think that we shall be
Two happy little boys."

And here's our own illustration for this poem
snapped just a few days ago.
Happy Poetry Friday!

  4. This photograph is priceless. Eventually there will be discord, but this kind of love will get them through it.

  5. Oh, how beautiful! I don't know how well this applies to my husband and his brother, though I guess they just showed their love for each other in typical brotherly rough-housing fashion. ;-)
