'a Soldier Brave and Strong'

 
The snow is falling, falling on Remembrance Day,
and I cannot help recall and remember my brother;
now, his beautiful name is engraved in a stone gray,
he was more than a brother but a friend like no other.

He left only wanting to keep Canadian peace,
those who think peacekeepers don't die are wrong;
until my last breath I keep in my heart a piece,
of him-   and my love for a soldier brave and strong.

Hi Constance - my heartbreak has become real and my tears stream, we will never forget him. May his wings fly him to the highest of heights. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
