Simple as exchanging names,
blustery indecision dare not tread.
Adolescent minds in need of affirmation,
kindness a currency, thus far well spent.
Brotherhood forged on manhood’s horizon,
squawking voices, stick arms–
amorous hearts, experimental wants.
Trials in youth’s volatility,
scarred for betterment,
experience scathingly wrought—
fraternity rightly earned.
Distance may blur memories;
muscles bulge and shrink,
stomachs protrude and suck—
battle-worn camaraderie never dies.
Know that time may change faces,
sunlight will race across and dip again–
life shall pummel in its righteous gauntlet.
A brother earned, family forged;
let the road meander true,
we remain, as always,
bound in the dust-worn journey.
