Bonds
O Brother, my Brother, so close to me
Is by my side where you’ll always be?
Will I always be able to protect you from life
And keep you away from pain and strife?
Will I always be able to keep your eyes dry
And wipe away the tears if you happen to cry?
Will I be able to listen when no else is there
And prove to you how much I care?

And will you always be there for me,
To make sure that we’re both happy?
To lend me warmth on the coldest of days
When all the pain needs to be pushed away.
To keep love for others alight in my heart
And keep bitterness from playing a part.

But what if we should part ways
And say goodbye to these wonderous days?
Would your voice still echo, your face still remain
And your warmth still there to ease the pain?
These thoughts shouldn’t exist, yet they run through my head
And turn the future into something to dread.
But hopefully that day will not come near
And we’ll still be able to catch each other’s tears.
