As We Look Back
As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering.... Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support u s .... To celebrate our successes To understand our problems
And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgment,
Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
To M y Dear Brother
I'm not leaving yo u along. I will be their in jo u r memory, remember us play, working, laughing, and shedding tear together. Everyone need a brother like you.
