  44. BROTHER
    Billy
    Sometimes an enemy;
    Sometimes a friend.
    Sometimes a not so good secret keeper;
    Sometimes a faithful partner in crime.
    Sometimes the worlds best:
    Sometimes the worlds worst
    No matter the distance, time, or issue:
    Always a brother,
    RIP Billy forever in our hearts
