Time for the steelers to close ranks

The steelers are a group of friends ,
played rugby together from the age of eleven, 
always taught by Griff to stick together; 
no matter what, 
they gave their all for each other not the badge;
and remain in contact 
even though they have grown up and moved on.

now a tragedy has occurred ,
all of the boys have been informed, 
one of them is in need of help
and they are all there to help him,
phone calls were made,
they insured he was not alone at this time ,
anyone that knows the steelers will know that this would always be the case,
all they had hoped that their friendship would never be tested
in these circumstances. 

the steelers have closed ranks,
protecting their friend, 
a wall that not even the wind could blow through,
after all of these years and miles that have passed,
the steelers are there for one another, 
and one of their own.
