Of all that I can remember, <br />And too many long forgot, <br />The few that earned their trust, <br />Never given a second thought. <br /> <br />The one who stands beside, <br />No matter the danger near, <br />Backed up against the wall, <br />The face that’s free of fear. <br /> <br />Of all that I can remember, <br />Counting fingers on my hand, <br />The smile of reassurance, <br />Together we’ll make a stand. <br /> <br />Names are placed upon the list. <br />Withdrawing one by one, <br />Is there not, a friend I’ve met? <br />Before this list’s undone. <br /> <br />Of all that I can remember, <br />The ones who come to mind, <br />Family has always been there, <br />Creating that lasting bind.<br /><br />G.R.
