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

Lynn Marie Date: 2/23/2017 2:32:00 AM Your words are profound, very moving and a wonderful reminder of the gift that friends are. There is a playfulness to your words that gives a peek into the fun nature of your son that is quite endearing. Incredibly well penned, an absolute pleasure to read.:-) blessings, lynn Login to Reply Wade Greenlee Date: 2/23/2017 8:02:00 PM He truly had/has the best of friends, and without them I'm not sure I would be able to cope with his loss. I think he would have written this poem just like I did, and would want everyone to remember his infectious laugh and always present smile. Thank you for reading and for your wonderful thoughts.
