My Dear Brother

You were my brother, by blood we know My partner in crime, so to speak I had your back, you had mine We had our fights, then we made up You could pick on me, vice versa Don't no one dare start trouble with you If they did, they had me to deal with I'm a biker today, because of you That first biker bar, you brought me to I walked in, then realized who I was We argued, fussed and fought Who would have their Harley first You had a few rice burners it's true At least you had two wheels to ride The years came and went You traveled the coast Years later you moved in with me You came in with bad news on life You said your time had been cut short I felt as though I got hit with a brick Although we were not speaking to Mom & Dad I thought they should know what's come of you I wrote them a letter, telling them your time was short Their response was, you were back on drugs It was hard to understand, they did not believe I wrote back to tell them, visit him at the VA Hospital Mom didn't go, Dad did so He walked right by you, not recognizing You lost so much weight, he did not know you They found I wasn't lying You were put in their care, till your end days I'm sorry I didn't visit Not on good terms with mom and dad You left this world, for a better place I then got my Harley, in memory of you I love you my dear brother, with all my heart I know you ride with me, when I'm in the wind Forever my brother, forever my friend I love you always, until we meet again
