This goes out to my brother, Ger.
The manliest man i know.
[Verse 1]
Pokémon battles and Magic nights,
D&D quests, those Halo fights.
Board games and Bibles by firelight,
Talkin’ life ‘til the edge of night.
Ferry rides and long road tunes,
From state lines wide to B.C. moons.
Chasin’ sunsets in worn-out cars,
Sippin’ gin, puffin’ pipes, dreamin’ under stars.
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve had joy, and we’ve cried it too—
No mountain too high, no flame too blue.
You held your ground, like good men do—
Brother for life… and I’m proud of you.
[Chorus]
So here’s to you—my brother, my friend,
You found your heart where the ocean bends.
She knows your soul—steady and kind,
You’re steppin’ into what God had in mind.
We’ll miss you, man—but this ain’t goodbye,
You’re not leavin’—you’re learnin’ to fly.
Go love her well, walk in the light—
You’ve got our blessing to get it right.
[Verse 2]
I still hear those midnight talks,
Wounds and fathers, long, slow walks.
The world came hard, but we stood tall—
Two stubborn hearts that wouldn’t fall.
We prayed through storms, through rise and rest,
The kind of bond that time won’t test.
You’re movin’ on—but don’t forget,
This love we share’s your safety net.
[Bridge]
So take her hand and don’t let go,
She’s your answer—you’re her home.
No one else could fill your space,
You’re made to lead with truth and grace.
[Final Chorus – With Personal Faith Language]
So here’s to you—my brother, my bud,
You found your future in honest love.
She sees your heart—the quiet f***t,
And you’ll be the man who treats her right.
So walk that vow with open eyes—
You’ve got our love, now live that life.
And when it’s hard, He’s right there too—
God’s got you, man… and we do too.
[Outro – Spoken over light guitar]
This is to you, Gerasim…
My brother. My friend.
You’re not leaving us—
You’re just becoming more of who you were always meant to be.
