The early years

We’re wonderful

Even though we were

A few years apart

I think about the years

I can remember

When we were on

B street and close in heart…

You took me to the playground

And pushed me on the swings

And gave me little cherry bumps

On the wooden teeter totter

Across the street…

We chased your dog Rusty

And you took me on your

Paper route

And I watched you

Serve at Mass

As the most revenant

Alter boy

Til you graduated

From 8th grade…

College was a separation

Then Germany for 2 years

Then we both got married

And we went

Our separate ways…

I love you in my heart and soul

But really have no place

To be

As our roads are still

In separate lanes with

Your family tied to you

And mine tied to me

You’re lost and wonder

Where you are

My brother has a family

And a life 8 hours from me…

I’m praying our God

Takes care of you the way

You took care of me…

My heart is hurting

Knowing your Ill

But little can I do

As I’m aging along

With you..

God will bring us

Back together

In eternity…
