To Arild

To Arild my brother across the sea..
You have my back and are the eyes
when I can't see..
Oceans and sky's of time separate a 
friendship found in rhyme..
But a meer word joins the road we 
take where two hands reach out and shake..
You've  given me trust but I still waiting for that 
long awaited cold beer and steak..

I remember flirting, before dating and way before marriage, children and hot flashes.

Shame on you PD for turning this innocent gesture of friendship into something more lol. Wow I guess now I will have jealous wives n husbands sending me hate mail lol. Man , women, boy or girl, one look at Arild you have to hug him.
