A Letter To My Friends From Brooks

To My Friends…From Brooks I know it’s hard to believe In this poem of mine That I find it very difficult To spin the right words to rhyme The amazing gift God gave me Of so many friends who cared Through all days dark or bright And the love they freely shared Music was my passion But friends were all my life The reason for my smile A cure for all my strife You always made me smile And my days so very bright And when I lost my way You found me in the night So I just wanted to say I love you so so much And I hope you never leave me Promise me to stay in touch So very hard to find right words To write something for you all Your friendship meant so much to me But now this is my call So I tell you straight right now Exactly what I need to say To show you how much I appreciate You being there everyday You're worth more than anything All the gold that I could give My rap will say it all Of how you all should live Play hard, live hard, love hard Be cool, always on your guard Don’t be afraid, take life by the horns Let others always know your name Never relent, stay true to you talent Give a lot but say a little Your actions will show that you’re not second fiddle Friend is a word not to be used lightly So in your life make sure it’s used rightly Be respectful, never uneventful, not resentful But always thoroughly thoughtful Be who you are, no matter what happens If you do you’ll be known by your actions And at the end like me you’ll say God thank you so so much For meeting me half-way
