Brothers Forever





Brothers Forever

Comrades in arms,
Each one would keep the other safe,
Out of harms way,
Each one could “take you out”-
When you are out of line,
Each one would take you in-
On a moment’s notice,
Young enough to remember,
Old enough to know better,
We laugh with spontaneity,
It was so from the beginning,
It is so to this day,
Our mother was a saint,
She was a boys’ Mom,
She would really get mad,
Have us sit as a group on the stairs,
So she could lecture,
(we didn’t do “this” or “that”…chores, usually)
After the yelling subsided,
She would stare at the four of us,
And,
Start laughing!
(Whew…Once Again!)
Brothers, Forever!
