TO MY BROTHERS
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the way of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve dry before the sun Of happy memories that I leave when life on earth is done. I know you're sad and are afraid because I see your tears I promise that I'll not be far and hope you'll always know that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me; you know I love you too That's why it's hard to say Goodbye and end this life with you.
Sorry I had to leave in such a sudden way But I had a friend that said He needed me today.
