Funny, I probably use the same title for this scribbled tribute every year, homage to my brother on his birthday,

He, SLud, and me, JLud, brothers by good fortune, by chance,

Was my dream sent long ago, and though it’s been different than expected, it’s been perfectly the way it should be, true reflection of him and me,

Two guys bound by name and just enough aligned to play, sing from the same page, yin and yang, I will have sang many a time by the end of our lives,

The whole of life, mine better for him, so thankful to know him, learn from him, call him my family,

Happy Birthday brother, the hymn.
