HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
Cod saw he was getting tired And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around him And whispered "Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched him sleep And saw him fade away
Although we loved him dearly We could not make him stay
A golden heart stopped beating loving hands were laid to rest Cod broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best!
HIS VISAGE CARRIES ON
Is that him lolling in the grease? To spend some time and get release? I've heard that he was always there; For those he loved, to watch and care.
The house is looking quite renewed; Thanks to our home repairing dude; And friends remain, from decades past
From here to there, to ever last.
The buses, East New York run fine, ' cause Stanley's stationed on the line;
I look away and then he's gone; Although his visage carries on.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The family of Stanley Brown wishes to express its deepest appreciation and sincerest gratitude to everyone for all the acts of
kindness shown to them during this time of bereavement.
