My Italian Brother Frank

Even though he lives in another State away from me
There has never been anyone so close to me like he.
I have not been able to put a finger on just why
But like a trusted friend or even sometimes like a big fruit fly,
He keeps hanging around, and never seems too far away.

Funny in all our years together and all our shared experiences and jokes;
Frank has been my rock, my Oak
My Brother, in good times and in bad; for no one could quite provoke
When I needed a laugh, or a even a big music hall.
He’s been my truest friend, apparently in it for the long haul.

I miss you Frank!
