A Brothers Love

You may of held me down And pull my teeth With your silly string on the door Slammed it and made me bleed You are still my brother I adore You can get mad about your playboys I burnt out doors You can tell mom about the antis I shook upon your bed You can take my toys and smash them Or, eat my Halloween candy You are still my brother I adore The day you went to war, I wept The day you got shot I cried I will never tell mom About that day My soul went away When you died For you are now next to her A grave you share together Tell her what you may For my brother "Tony May" I also died that day
