Here's Tae Twa Braers!
Here's Tae twa braers!
A braer tae me, is no just oany wan th' cum's alang,
Or stoaps tae shoot th' breeze,
He's a man Tae cum alang side ye at oany time ye need,
Tae lisin Tae o yer woes.
A man tha' ne'er hides awa or pass ye oan the street.
Naw! a braer sticks through thick an thin,
Nae matter whit is wrang,
A braer lends an ear, a shulder Tae hae a greet,
Or a hand Tae help ye up,
He's wan Tae wipes awa yer tears, and bides until the end.
That's a braer tae me!

Author's Note
I felt to write a poem in my own Scots dialect one. It's really to all men or brotherhood that it's okay to be real.

Enjoyed the dialect here, Drew. (My paternal grandmother was from Aberdeen). It catches the aspect of 'filia-love' nicely, especially having a brother myself.
