This weekend I remember the person my brother use to be
He served our country proud
He did all he was asked to do
An injury sent him home
He wasn’t the same upon his return
Tattered and torn was his sole
He did some things he wasn’t proud of
But deep within, he was still the man he use to be
He worked real hard to come back to who he was
He cleaned up his act
He found a good woman with a family
He was able to love, the way every man should have a chance to
But before too long the good lord came and took him
Lost to a disease that couldn’t be cured
I take this time to remember all he was and all he had
I love you Johnny, you surely were quite the man
May your spirit live on among all that have loved you
You’re with the big man now, so we’ll always miss you
But knowing you are in the best hands possible
I can live on holding onto my happiest memories
This Poem was written on (05/24/14) in loving memory of my Brother Johnny
who briefly served in the air force. May he rest peacefully with god for eternity.
