I have never known anyone
That would give everything they own
The shirt off your back
Wherever you would roam
You nutured me
You held my hand
When we walked to school
I watched your many beatings
Yet so brave
You stood so tall
You were never shy of voicing
Just what you truly thought
Sadly life skills were all
All that we were taught
There are many 'Sorry's' truly
That are owed to you
By so many people
They do not know Who
You have been knocked down
Just far too many times
But with the guidance of your friends
They helped you stay on line
Your talent is being wasted
You could help so many like YOU
You who has stood tall
Nuture them and feed them
Get them to knock down that wall
I have never admired anyone
The way I admire you my brother
The strength you have given me
Reminds me just how we were
Laughing and crying
It didn't matter what
We knew eachother inside out
Never we forgot
To not forget who we are
How ever long the track
Wanting to turn Yet knowing
We could never look back
Some memories truly, NEED to be forgotten.
