Memory to My Brother (Happy Birthday)

Memory to my Brother

Born of my Mother
Michael, My little Brother.

Always together, harldly ever apart,
I will never let you leave my heart.

I miss your smile, your music, and your art,
At that time, your life was beginning to start.

I think of you the most on January twenty fifth,
My memories of us growing up, never to be, a myth.

Many years have past and have gone by,
If you were still here 54,oh my.

Then God had taken you at an early age,
He knows whats best,  released you from the cage.

Knowing today your in a better place,
Don't worry little brother, I remember your face.

Rest peacefully, dear brother, don't worry about me,
I know your flying with the angels, and you are free.


Happy Birthday
Miss you,Bernie

Micheal Slicker Jan 25, 1958 - April 1977
