Throughout my days I have been truly blessed,
With a Loving Brother, who is the Best!
With whose Birth date, I gladly do share,
Blest by God's Providence and Loving Care.
And over the years, my Brother's been true,
Doing what only a True Friend would do.
And though our courses of life have so changed,
A True Encouragement, He has remained!
Separated by miles, yet close in Heart,
My Thoughtful Brother has e'er done his part
To maintain a sense of Special Kinship,
Coming my way, He's made many a trip.
Last coming, our Birthday to celebrate,
Like when we last did,(Nineteen Sixty-Eight).
He was most Generous, Gracious and Kind,
Which truly made for a Wonderful Time!
How Blest it is, to be Brothers at Peace,
Blessing each other, and giving each ease
To share in a oneness, that few have known,
Let such Love continue, given and shown!
[With gratitude for my great Brother, Dennis]
