away from home on my own fifty years ago I saw your smile unique style when we said hello I was eighteen new on the scene you became my bro so many moons musical tunes some fast and some slow lots of heartbreaks picking up stakes when we had to go calamity insanity hard times to undergo intoxicants can't pay the rent always short on dough you've seen trouble my soul double and it's brought you low here's hoping I'll see the smile I saw fifty years ago

Hi Karen - thanks! I kind of liked the flow of another poem I did, called Odd-Petaled Daisy - so I copied it.
