My mom is dying, going to need an ear.

Bittersweet 3, By Brian37 

June is here
But you are not
3 months it's been
Since you've been gone

I still find
I reach for the phone
To call you up
To talk about anything

Tomorrow afternoon
I will pick up my friend
Though you only spoke to him
On the internet

It's my biggest regret
You and he never met
We will be spreading your ashes
This weekend

I severely miss
The way you teased
Always siding 
With my friends

Even with 
My X wife
You'd do the same
Both pile on

I admit mom
I am an easy tease
I miss those moments
I still have those memories

I will take 
My friend John
To the places we went
And your old home

To the steak place
We used to eat
To the dollar store
And he'll meet your friends


I could see it
I want so bad
For you to see us
Together at last

We'd sit at Sunny Side
You'd order eggs and toast
You and John
Would razz me most

I'd order my burger
But we'd have a problem
No three way football
On the table top

But that's ok
John and I will play
In memory of you
I know you'd smile

3 months 
To the day
A bittersweet weekend
You wont be here

16 years
Since John and I met
16 years
I begged and begged

For John 
And Bob too
My other friend
From Australia knew

I wanted them
Both to meet you
To sit together
In the same room

I wanted you mom
To smile and laugh
To side with them
Face to face

But now I am left
With your ashes
Time has no mercy
For my wishes

Puddle Jumper, By Brian37

A tiny airport
We'd pass all the time
You'd point out 
A miniature Red Barron

Only one wing
You loved the color scheme
Red and black
Fake machine gun

Thoughts of Snoopy
Flying it
You'd point it out
Every time we passed

I don't see the plane
You like so much
Owner knows not
How much it touched

How much we bonded
Over those simple things
My memories of you
Fly's on it's wings

I pass that airport
Now without you
Mini Red Barron
I still miss you
