A Brother None The Less

            Glorious and proud

            My friend, my crony

            Having climbed the Apex of life

            Trusted, facing many doubts

 

            You forged our relationship

            You have my honor

            Gone as wind, yet near as air

            The sulk of damp day

 

            Let it not press you into dismay

            Long times lay between us

            Grasp my hand, don’t let go

            Together the day shall fold

 

            I look, eye in eye

            My own self so I see

            Bolstered in you

            I see competent within

            Strong you remain, not one or two out of shape

 

            Forgive my partings beloved friend

            But remember me inside,

            Where our hearts beat as one

            For you are my brother none the less
