A parents worry .

It was unsaid , But commonly thought . They now had two children . In cold logic , Enough for the task required . It is just a curse and a worry , The order they were born in .
Even though still at a very tender age , There were warning signs that bode ill for days ahead . It is already evident the better temperament manifests in the younger of the two . What a shame you cannot choose , The hereditary system has already decided .
Even with elders superior education , The early preparation , The building of the foundation . It becomes ever clearer , The younger is the more capable child . And there is nothing they can do about it . 
As mother and father , They can only guide and pray in time , He will become the man the role requires . His personality traits will be suppressed and hidden in the name of duty . But even though , Silent stiff upper lip , They hide their concerns , They still do show obviously .
And both children (and unsubstantiated gossip) all know it .
