 
HAPPY 39th Birthday Dear Brother
The smell of turkey baking in the oven
fresh corn on the cob and pumpkin pie
All the trimmings of a festive Thanksgiving
have now just past me by
Another year without you here
it gets harder as time goes on
but I know you're in a much happier place
in your beautiful heavenly home
There's a wintery feeling in the air
trees are turning and dropping their leaves
Windows are beginning to light up with candles
and doors adorn holly filled wreaths
The smell of Christmas is now in the air
mistletoe and greenery can be seen everywhere
Presents wrapped up in green, gold and red
while visions of you fill my sleepy head
As stockings are hung by the chimney with care
and snow flakes glisten in the cold night air
I can't help but wonder as I so often do
what I would say first when I finally see you
Fifteen years have come and gone
as though time were standing still
That day we said our last good bye
I knew my heart would never heal
It would always have a missing piece
that piece you took with you
And until I see you once again
my heart will always be blue
I came here today to throw you a kiss
and to wish you a Happy Birthday
To tell you how much that you are loved
and how much you are missed since you went away
As you blow out your candles, all thirty-nine
and make a wish, a wish to come true
Remember that all your family below
will be celebrating this day with you
Happy Birthday dear brother,
I love you with all my HEART & SOUL!!!!!!!!!
Your Sister, Patricia

Celebrating Fifteen Years In Heaven

 Happy Birthday, Dear Victor
I cannot believe this is your 39th year
Seems like only yesterday you were my “baby dear”
I petted and I cooed and became your lil’ mother
You were never a burden and never a bother.
We shared a bond never to be broken
It was heartfelt, no words had to be spoken
I thought I could keep you out of harm’s way
And, Sweet Boy, my love was with you that day.
Each year you have grown with me, in my heart
Nothing can ever change that precious part
Of the love and affection I feel for you
Sent up to heaven through skies of blue.
I will love you and miss you forever and a day,
And I hope you have a very wonderful Birthday
One day I’ll be there to celebrate the years
With no more sadness, and only happy tears.
Dear Brother, you remain deep in my heart
And every day I breathe you are a part
Of who I was, who I am and who I will be
When the time comes and your face I finally see.

TITLE: EVERYTHING I OWN
ALBUM: ANTHOLOGY 1985
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you, and
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What its of, what its of
You never said too much but still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know, you're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day, someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again
