"At Sinai Hospital, where Abigail had been taken after being pulled from the house by firefighters, her brother, Matthew, 16, remained in critical condition yesterday with severe swelling of the brain, a condition prompted by smoke inhalation.

The family's pastor, the Rev. Thomas W. Blair, said that Matthew's blood pressure had dropped somewhat, which he said was not a good sign.

He's just hanging on," Blair said of Matthew, a 10th-grade cross-country running enthusiast who attends the Park School. In Sinai Hospital's pediatric intensive-care unit, Matthew's mother and his older sisters, Laura and Carrie - who do not live at the family's home - held what amounted to an all-night vigil at his bedside.

"They were holding his hands and caressing his head all night long," said Blair, the pastor of Second Presbyterian Church in Guilford, where he held a prayer service for the Young family on Thursday evening."

I wrote this song/poem for him-

Abigail, where do you stand?
It's time to protect your right-hand man.
He's not gone, but he's not here.
And I know that you want him with you,
But he's still needed down here

I spent yesterday pouring oil on the flame,
Now it smokes and pops and begins to lick your grave.
The heat's too close for comfort,
Wish you'd take a step back.
And if you can see to the fire,
I'll see to it that I'll be right back.

"Ma'am, could you hush your dog?
It's disturbing the neighborhood."
"No, I'm sorry, sir, he's a smoke alarm,
But I'd quiet 'im if I could."

There are those who hardly spoke to him,
But are saddened just the same.
Because grief spreads like fire
Burning everything in range.
