Dedicated to Jonno… Scholar, adventurer, life long mate.
Remember this when pulses pumped Adrenalyne ran high, Remember this when young blood flew And almost reached the sky, Remember when you worked like hell And sleep flew out the door, We fought and spat like alley cats Competing for the floor. Remember how the days flew by Exhaustion took it’s toll, We wrote the book and sang the song And acted out the role. Remember how you smiled at me And offered me your hand Remember how we chased the girls And sought the promised land. Amazing how we laboured on Amazing what we won, We fabricated wonderment We almost reached the sun, From dregs of dust we built the dream And fashioned love so fair, A million people stayed with us A million breathed the air. Our Buttercup was something great Our memories impart, The magic of a lifeline shared A brotherhood of heart.
And so, Old Son, as life goes on And age doth take its toll, Remember how that sap once flowed When you and I were gold. And friendship forged it’s scarlet grip Forever more to be A warming place within our souls A bond twixt you and me.
