Comrades

Comrades

The two of us set out in life together,
We swore friends forever,
We staggered through the road to man-hood leaning on one another,
Looking at the armies we beat, I look back and shudder,
“Did we really live through those epic battles that everyone must fight?
Did we really laugh like that through them and smile at their bite?”
We should have been scared as hell of what we saw,
But I was as secure as could be as long as you where with me,
Even when our backsides got raw.

I look back at those struggles in wonder.
How could we have won when all we did was blindly blunder?
I can’t help but think,
Where would have I been if you weren’t there in that prank,
To tell me to think about what might have happened,
Or me to get you into those battles that were so ramped,
With the lessons that we were to learn and the blood to be shed,
I know I was glad that you where there to share in the blood we bled.

This is to our memories my friend,
Let them never brake nor bend,
This is to our the lessons we learned,
And to how we had them earned,
This is to what ever happens to be,
This is to you and me.
