Larry wrote this poem earlier in the year and sent it to me. I wrote the music and added the second verse. Check out his popular web site for more midi files. - Elton October 21, 1997
(Short introduction)
(Verse 1 - Rhodes Piano)
Thank you, my brother,
for being around,
For stopping to listen
when I was cast down.
For being a brother
and lending a hand,
For prayers that you offered
that helped me to stand.
(Refrain - Jazz Strings)
Brother to brother
is how we must live
There are times we receive,
just as times we're to give.
The care and compassion
are stars in your crown
For being my brother
when I was cast down.
(Verse 2 - Rhodes Piano)
So take heart, my brother
if ever you're down.
I'll stand right beside you
and always be found.
And when we've departed,
though time is like sand,
We'll rejoice up in heaven,
as brother and friend.
(Repeat Refrain - Jazz Strings)
Brother to brother
is how we must live
There are times we receive,
just as times we're to give.
The care and compassion
are stars in your crown
For being my brother
when I was cast down.
