Tony's Poem

My face is caressed
By salty tears
I know you'll always love me
And chase away my fears

I don't want to seem selfish
But without you I'm confound
When we talk, the weight on my shoulders
Seems to drop a pound

You're leaving for a few months
And I'll have to put up with my mother.
But I'll do it for you Tony,
Because you're my true dear brother.

I'll be eager till you get back
And have you back in my arms
So you can chase away the monsters
And save me from all harm

Just a few more months
Till you come back home
Please hurry Tony,
So I won't feel so alone.
