Song for my brothers (poetry on life, brothers and friendship)

I was the eldest of three boys born three years apart. Don't remember anything about my life as a solitary child. But as a big brother who used to (and still do) get my siblings in trouble,  there are volumes to write.  This is a song I wrote for my two brothers Johan and Jake Vadayatt.

Wanna sing a lil song out loud?
Come and sit right here by me,
Sing it full and sing it true,
Of happy days filled with glee.

All of three I was a young boy,
Happy times they were I thought.
But the day you showed your silly face
I gained a friend for a life time.

All the games in the world we played,
So so happy in our childhood.
Climbing so many guava trees,
Falling off from half of them.

Secret missions raiding all the sweets
Mama hid from you and I
Cowboys chasing villains were we,
Always Njaadaabachhan & nee Jayan *.

Oh so carefree went the days,
Happiness a tattoo on our face
Till the day he showed his silly face,
And we gained a friend for a life time.

Wanna sing a lil song out loud?
Come and sit right here by us ,
Sing it full and sing it true,
Of happy days filled with glee.
