Brothers At Sorrow
Together combined
more than friends, more than brothers
caring souls entwined
shining brighter than others
Brothers at sorrow
gazing out over the years
fearing tomorrow
brings with it sadness, tears
Speaking without sound
messages with emotion flow
sensing joy refound
watching the quiet sunset glow
Brothers at sorrow
searching into each other
seeing tomorrow
different roads from another
Memories enshrined
knowing all within their own
love and trust refined
stronger than any yet known
Brothers at sorrow
between them no blood shared
knowing tomorrow
they must be apart, not paired
In body although
separated forever
in spirit they grow
always closer together
Brothers at sorrow
remembering the past
facing tomorrow
believing fears won't last
One is lost in space
consigned to a wandering fate
while the other stays
waiting at infinity's gate
Brothers at sorrow
looking beyond light-years so vast
waiting tomorrow
in to eternity to be cast.
