Brotherly

His face, deeply imprinted from youth
he and I, two souls knit by our pasts
oh so different, yet brotherly are we.

How we laugh, recalling our adventures
his Laurel foibles to my Hardy ways.
Familiar as wearing well worn coats
our voices and friendly pats resonate
two intrinsic souls woven together, forever.

I love that! Reminds me of two friends who just fit, who can just pick up right where they left off, when meeting again for the first time in years!
