My Brother Terry

Photobucket
by Bud Lemire on June 2, 2011


Always a good samaritan, he was a special soul
Someone you felt was a good person to know
Guided by his heart, he'd always tell it like it is
It was a special quality, that was especially his

Now he's in the Spirit World, carrying on his trait
Because for some reason...Heaven couldn't wait
He loved dogs, and there he's sure to see
Two great family pets, Barney and Toby

Mom is there, as well as other relatives too
Probably many of them that you never knew
I'm sure they have pool tables, so you can shoot some pool
Or play a game of cribbage, now that would be so cool

If you see me taking pictures, smile down on me from a cloud
Because you got me started, and I'll always make you proud
I know you have many things to adjust to, so I think I'll stop here
But remember you're invited to the family gatherings that happen every year


Terry, I loved you more than I could ever say. I admired you for all the things you've done. Before I was born, you helped our family survive hard times by giving your “shoe shining” money to help with the groceries and other bills. You gave me my first camera and from there, it brought me to where I am today. You said being here on Earth was like being in “friggin' Hell.” Well, dear brother, you've been promoted to Heaven. I know your life will be much better there. As for us, we'll think of you often and remember the kind soul who we were fortunate to have known as our brother Terry.
