Fallen

Rest now my fallen brother

Lay soft your suffering back

Rest well and forever

Your memory shall not lack

Rest your tired hands

Wipe clean your weary brow

Rest with St. Florian

Your spirit now endowed

Rest here your breaking heart

We know you gave your all

Rest easy, you’ve done your part

You’ve answered your last call

Rest knowing that in god we sought

Oh lord, watch over another who just fell

Rest assured your… Continue

LOSING YOU BROTHER HAS BEEN SO TOUGH,

WE DIDNT HAVE YOU LONG ENOUGH.

YOUR SIMLE, YOUR LAUGH, YOUR CARING WAYS,

THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE AS BRIGHT THESE DAYS.

A Firefighters Gloves hold many things

From elderly arms to a kids broken swing

From the hands they shake and the backs they pat

At 2 am they are filled with chrome

From the DWI who was on her way home

And the equipment they use to roll back the dash

From the family of 6 she involved in the crash





The brush rakes in spring, wear the palms out

When the wind does a “90” to fill them with… Continue

The Dash Poem

by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak

At the funeral of a friend.

He referred to the dates on her tombstone

From the beginning… to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth

And he spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all

Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time

That she spent alive on earth.

And now only those who loved… Continue
