Solice

SOLICE

Your years may be less
But your spirit's aged more
You carry the weak
And cry for the poor

Your convictions run deep
And your heart's filled with love
An angel of strength
 a gift from above

You stand by your morals
Feet firm on the land     
You'll not condem others
Just reach out your hand

Like a tree rooted deep
You weather the storm      
Another like you
Has not yet been born

You touch the lives
Of those who cross         
through your path       
Give courage to those     
In need of a laugh

Each time i've fallen
You've picked me back up
Helped patch my heart
when it needed to mend     
I love you for always
My brother, my friend
