My Brother’s Keeper

My brother’s like my mother’s son.

Locking arms

Unspoken trust is what we vow upon

No words needed

Secrets? I keep ‘em

Til you get to,

Get in front of my loved ones and speak when

It’s time for me to rest.

But for now, you guard your 12

As I watch your 6

Knowing our eyes have seen lots of shit

No need to share in confidence..

Just confirmation signaled with head nods and…

Silence…

There’s just an understanding

That the things we know about life

Have made us better men.

So we grow through it…

Watching the seasons of life change

Striving to become noble men

As the times change.

I am my brother’s keeper

I trust you..

To, ride or, provide words of advice

When you try to push through life

And life begins to shove you…

Lean on me

When you need me

Loyalty usually comes at a price

But you have mine for free

Because in a world where souls can’t be trusted

You’re my brother

And that’ll always counts for something..
