A Letter to My Brother Michael

Y ou are forever in my heart

The day will come, I know, when all the rain has fallen and the sun begins to show

I'll think of you in all I do

Your warmth will touch my face, you'll twinkle in the starlight and be held in each embrace

So please do not be saddened if a tear for you I shed

But we had dreams and wishes

Wishes I'll safely keep instead

Although it hurts, I understand you had somewhere else to be

Over time together has not passed you'll always be with me

In every day, in every way you'll always be a part

My precious brother

You're forever in my heart

Love Always, Your Sister Ruthamae Spears Coates and Family
