Lord, have mercy on the only child
Who's never known the discovery
Encamped within a combat zone;
The thrill of sibling rivalry.
The crazy love / hate dinner date
That dances unromantic circles
'Til it forms a bond so strong
That pry bars cannot separate.
All too often goes unnoticed;
Pity when it goes unsaid;
Pride - Or simple foolishness stands
In the way 'til it's too late.
Even though the miles between
Grow distant with the passing
years,
The bond remains in memories so
Intricately intertwined
That time cannot erase the easeled
Portraits of our youth.
The sun-drenched grapes of
yesterday
Mellowed sweetly in the wine.
