Face of the Dead Brother

Face of the dead brother, casket visions
    Face your finality
    Face that yes it does happen to me,
    It is I; It is I who doesn't know the why's
    Face the tolling of the bell in my town,
          my life, my home

You put it where it hurts, Doris. Good write. My condolences if true. One of my brothers passed at about age 54. Sleep Apnea. Charles
