My mom is dying, going to need an ear.

Don't Delay, By Brian37

In 01
A bit distraught 
Over a recent 
Divorce

I moved 
To a new place
And met on line
Bob and John, friends of mine

Two of which
I never would have met
If it were not
For mom's unwavering support

Bob from down under
Dundee of accent
But mind of
Dawkins

John the red state
Redneck from Oklahoma
I would not have met
If it were not for mom from Ohio State

Mom took them in 
Although she's never met them
She loves to listen
To me talk about them

Listen's to me
Talk about Bob
All the places he's been
Like Higgins from Magnum P.i.

And when in the same room
While on Skype
Mom would say "Hi Bob"
Bob "Hi Brian's mom"

She never get's tired
Of hearing about John
Ribbing me about
His redneck songs

Who would think
It would ever happen
A guy could find Metallica
Or Redskins fight song on banjo

But what do you know
In all of that
My mom loves listening
To those interactions

Year after year
I would beg of them
"Bob and John
You have to meet my mom"

It never transpired
Because of distance
Circumstance 
In that life just happens

My dream was all 4 of us
Would sit around
The same breakfast joint table
While they razzed me much

Grab that time
When you can
Grab it with loved ones
And your friends

Yes the consolation
Is that they did talk
Maybe not in person
But that was a lot

Mom loves Bob
As much as John
Because they made me smile
And I am their friend

Get the time
While you can
It is really true
We don't know when it ends
