Brothers Forever

Though we are different,

We are of the same blood.

Life’s roads, different paths,

Brothers forever.

Sometimes anger,

Always love.

Always cared,

Never a stranger.

Good to hear your voice,

Been a while.

Like to see you soon,

Too many miles.

Never told you,

I love you.

You’re my brother,

didn’t need to do.

Age brings many thoughts,

Sickness brings many more.

Good to hear your voice,

It’s been a while.

Sickness won't get better,

They say you’re going to die.

Fucking CANCER,

I don’t want to say good bye.

God in heaven,

Please be kind.

Please take care

Of this brother of mine.

Life’s been long

But way too short.

There is no justice,

In this court.

Woody, our friend,

We know your grief.

Woody, our friend,

His life was to brief.

Please God in heaven,

Hear this prayer.

He is a good man,

We truly care.
