Blood Brother

Music needs lyrics to make it whole Lyrics are words that touch the soul Listening to one song after another Springsteen singing "My Blood Brother" It tells a story of of childhood friends A genuine love that never ends Growing up and parting ways Changes coming in passing days And it takes me back to the things we did The friends I had when I was just a kid Although time has pulled us all apart I still carry each one in my heart But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart My blood brother--Bruce Springsteen

I sure loved his music too. So many greaat artists from that time have been replaced by critteres like Justin Bieber. Love the memories you bring back! :)

Springsteen is indeed a true artist. I don't wholly agree with your first line though... just listen to some Jeff Beck or Ry Cooder instrumentals and you can't help but be moved. Nice poem though. Regards, Robert.
