These long time friends of mine
Make me shine
God assigned
He did a good job
picking these  three of mine
I am proud and  
would never decline
Sent me three of the most divine
"Bottom Line"
Even still today
Making me always fall into line
Keeping me from the criminal minds
I was no angel  
No doubt there were times they wanted to strangle
If you messed with me the three  would be ready
to tangle  
No problem if you came at  us with no angle
We have all moved away
One a thousand miles
Two just maybe an hour away
Sad we all four could not stay
Even though we have strayed
We would never or could never betray
It's our way
Loyal
Never is it  expected to be repaid
The coed of brotherhood and sisterhood
always obeyed
We will always be at each others aide
These three my mom and dad made
We have now been together for decades
I would never trade
Anyone else would certainly be a downgrade
