Brothers
It is not measured by amount of gifts or games
Or how many ex girlfriends can be counted and named
It is something much more special inside
A love that is not shown but you cannot hide
A brother’s love to another is unlike any bond
It is a connection of trust of which both brothers are fond
One brother assures ‘I have your back no matter what.’
But states, ‘That it does not mean I will not kick your butt!’
The big problems, hard problems, small problems galore
The love of your brother is what brothers adore
Knowing if something is too bad for father
Or plotting together a trick on the daughter
In this case the military are the brothers at hand
We protected each other, just like the homeland
Always looked out and always had an eye
Never wanting to say our final goodbyes
These brothers of mine, still live in my heart
No doctor of the Navy will tear that apart
As some are still sailors and miss me the same way
With their help, I will get back in the Navy someday
