I had a dear brother Frank, <br />and for his birth the Lord I thank. <br />Everyone knows he has done good deeds <br />For his family he has met their needs. <br />In school he taught for many years <br />Both girls and boys were full of tears <br />When time had come for him to end <br />His life long work, which helped to send <br />Them on their way to a new career, <br />Which gave them pride and Mums a cheer. <br />But all those children did not forget <br />That man, who with patience set <br />Them tasks both hard and tedious, <br />And never showed how much he needed us. <br />His family loved him very much, <br />And every day, he wanted to be in touch <br />With all his friends so good and true, <br />Who gave him strength to meet each day new. <br />But as his life began to cease. <br />He went to God to rest in peace.<br /><br />Kathleen M.
