Poem
Hello my Bro, it seems long ago We didn’t know but it started way back when And now, I sure wish I could see you again After all those years when our lives were apart We finally met and were just going to start A life together with all those ideas I sure wish I could see you again Life is strange and it’s hard to figure. Who pulls the chains or squeezes the trigger We’ll never know who makes the decisions When it’s our time to leave or further our visions. It all started a long time ago At the end of the war in small town club Where lovers met and cut a rug They danced to the big bands and drank their beers Their hearts were free again and they lost their fears They had survived and life went on But their feelings were deep for the ones that were gone. Life is strange and it’s hard to figure. Who pulls the chains or squeezes the trigger We’ll never know who makes the decisions When it’s our time to leave or further our visions. We were born but we never met We lived our lives not knowing each other Until many years later I found my Brother Someone determined our time had arrived The moon and the stars were aligned, and we began to merge our lives It was a different time, but a good time as we explored our past We talked, shared thoughts and friends and assumed it would last Life is strange and it’s hard to figure. Who pulls the chains or squeezes the trigger We’ll never know who makes the decisions When it’s our time to leave or further our visions. We began to have fun and shared our minds Over those few years we explored mankind, Went campin’ and drinkin’ and scouted old places But the good times were short and turned to embraces. It’s like a dream where you wake and say I can’t remember the ending in the light of day But, I sure wish I could see you again Life is strange and it’s hard to figure. Who pulls the chains or squeezes the trigger We’ll never know who makes the decisions When it’s our time to leave or further our visions. So I’m left here without you and ponder all that we missed Growing older and trying to understand the reasons to persist How special it was that short time we had but it was taken away A life thief named “C” whose purpose still causes dismay I think about you always and will forever remember your grin But, I sure wish I could see you again. Life is strange and it’s hard to figure. Who pulls the chains or squeezes the trigger We’ll never know who makes the decisions When it’s our time to leave or further our visions. Copyright ©2017
