If ever someone thinks of me,
Their thoughts never go far.
No one cares to think of me.
How do I make it to their hearts?

I look in their eyes and I see
Independence shining through.
They're too young to be like this
And Mother, so are you.

But they don't pay attention
To their eldest brother.
I stand and keep watch over them
From the opposite corner.

They look forward, never back,
I am behind them, but they don't see.
I don't make a difference to their lives,
But they'll never be indifferent to me.
