Brothers

No matter how hard
The years try to separate us
There will always be the together days
Of times past
When you remember
We built the homemade treehouse
Way up
Just the two of us
And Dad
Because we were boys
And boys did things like that,
Or the times we climbed out the window
When we were supposed to be in bed
But it was summer
And daylight saving said we should sleep
But it was still sunny
And too good to waste,
And at dinner
Mum was pleased all our food was eaten
But she never knew
A dog was a boy's best friend too
Well we're older now
But still brothers
Forever.
