Brothers

BROTHERS 

I wasn’t even two years old
But I knew a baby’s sound
So I climbed up on my old crib
And was amazed by who I found
At once I felt drawn to u 
And suddenly I
 had my first friend
Then and there a bond was formed
That no one could even bend
Our lives as brothers began that day
It was filled with fights and fun
Many times it was a race for victory
Then we told Mom who had won
Mom always dressed us the same
But little did we both know
Those threads of clothing were matched with love
And together through life we’d go
That was the plan for our future
But eventually we came to know
God would send his angels for me
And to heaven I would have to go
I never wanted to leave you
U were the best friend I ever had
Don’t fill your days with sorrow and wipe away the sad
One day you will join me in heaven
A journey we both  would bear
I will tell how much I’ve missed you
And that I just beat you there
