My brother died of cancer and I wrote this poem to read at his funeral.
The son of a son was he
A special soul for us to see

His wondrous spirit flowing through our day
Filling each one with his thoughtful way

A shining love that he gave for free
A joyous gift he shared with you and me

His walk through life came with burdens to bear
But through his actions they were never there

As he laid with love so near
His peace with God gave him no fear

And with memories with us he could see
But with his Grammy he wanted to be

In the breaking dawn of a brand-new day
His pain and burden were taken away

And with the rise of the shining sun
An angel's flight had just begun

A beautiful soul without any wait
Walked with God through heavens gate
