Brothers Farewell

He stands tall Against the wall He's always been there In some way or the other He's my best friend The time we spend Will never be enough Even when we play rough He's leaving soon Im ever in such a maroon I don't want to say good-bye It makes me want to cry He taught me to fish I have but one wish For him to be happy Never for him to be unhappy He taught me to fight For every right And never take anything for granted He was amazing Encluding when we were hell raising He taught me everything I needed to know He watched me grow I sometimes took care of him I went to his every whim I would even answer to a bell For this is my brothers farewell Being with my brother kept me sane With him leaving it feels somewhat wrong It wont be for long I will see him some He would drink his rum As we sat on the beach The sun just out of reach Fishing away in Key West This is the best I feel truly blessed To have such a brother Who sometimes hovers In my soul he will always dwell This is for you, My brother farewell
