How do I let you go
On your final ride
What words can I say
To make things go right
When my heart aches
In so many ways

How many times
Have we had a chance
To bring us closer together
But the physical distance
Kept you on a different path
But brotherly love never dies
Just migrates into each other needs

So as the cancer will take us
Further apart
It also will bring us together
In those final moments
In the miracles
That we all pray for

So in this special prayer
Let us join hands in internal peace
Saying God our Father
Who art in heaven
Give us this day
And so many others
To bless our souls
In that brotherly love
That now is so
Heavenly close
Giving us more sunrises
To get us closer
To our Maker

Thought: In the prayers within us, miracles will happen in so many ways.

This is dedicated to my brotherly love for Jack who is seriously ill in Miami. I will be traveling there Saturday by car to visit him for a week or longer if needed. I will take the time off of work if needed. I hope that my prayers of being there, with the love of so many others will put the cancer in the miracle of remission. In the love of humanity, bless you and your loved ones.

May you all know renewed strength, power and determination....so glad you have a chance to spend time with him, for even in the silent times, he'll know you are there....and in silence seems to be sometimes, when love speaks the loudest.

Have a safe road trip and may miracle after miracle happens for him.

God bless, Pat

D.Lester~
Miracles can and do happen and I will be
praying for one in this case. You will both
be in my thoughts and prayers.
