To My Dead Uncle

When we were little, future was  what we had
growing up, they turned into dreams
flourishing  inside of us were them all

The strength to build these dreams before us, we all have
you, DEAR UNCLE, had that strength
but the storm of life blew too hard
the war wagged so fierce

You DEAR UNCLE, a strong man, a gentle fellow and an angel to everyone
maybe those dreams you had weren't fully fulfilled
hope you will fulfill them in the life to come
   Sleep on DEAR ONE...
