Our Beloved Brother-Dedicated To Dwight Bouldin

Took a shortcut through this wicked world
But the long way through our hearts
Having a hard time convincing ourselves
That this end is a million starts

A companion and a confidant
A father and a friend
Had a smile that was never ending
Always lent a helping hand

Never a time, you couldn’t make us laugh
Not a problem you couldn’t mend
Our beloved brother, we’ll miss you dearly
With love until we see you again

Joshua, I happened upon this, didn't know you wrote poetry. This is SUCH an awesome poem describing who Dwight was/is(in our hearts and memories). Thanks for such a beautiful way in expressing who he was- a friend and father to all. We have the beautiful hope of seeing his wonderful smile again in the near future.
