Family

My father was a warrior, a veteran of the wars
A caring man, never a better man lived nor ever will
Devoted to his family, he loved with all his heart
An inspiration to all he touched, he still is with us to this day

My mother is the most loving person I have ever known
She always was there when we needed her heart
I was never able to tell her how thankful I am
I owe my Mother so much more than my life

My sister is a caring soul, blinded by her love
She was the first of us, people often thought she was bad
It was the seventies she wanted freedom
Of all the gifts Mary Anne ever gave me
The most vital was her belief in me

My oldest brother Burt, more like a twin
Burt and I raise hell, but most of all understand each other
We never met a six-pack we didn’t like
Or time that we felt like anything other than brothers

My Brother Bob, a Duplicate of my father
He was always the normal one,
Athlete, Hunter typical Craft
Best brother I could have ever hoped for
