Blood Brother

Music needs lyrics to make it whole
Lyrics are words that touch the soul
Listening to one song after another
Springsteen singing "My Blood Brother"
It tells a story of of childhood friends
A genuine love that never ends
Growing up and parting ways
Changes coming in passing days
And it takes me back to the things we did
The friends I had when I was just a kid
Although time has pulled us all apart
I still carry each one in my heart


But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
My blood brother--Bruce Springsteen

I sure loved his music too. So many greaat artists from that time have been replaced by critteres like Justin Bieber. Love the memories you bring back! :)

Springsteen is indeed a true artist. I don't wholly agree with your first line though... just listen to some Jeff Beck or Ry Cooder instrumentals and you can't help but be moved. Nice poem though. Regards, Robert.
