Mr.
Jack (Sammy)

Mr. Jack.(Sammy)
from Egypt

We meet a lot
of people
Each and
every day...
Some
find a way into our hearts
And
there they shall always stay...

They
have this certain something
That
glistens in their eyes ...
A
knowing look, filled with caring
Shining
from deep inside...

No
matter how each new circumstance
Left us
confused and sometimes unsure...
One look
at the eyes of Jack Sammy
Was the
answer we searched for...

Language
can be such a barrier
When
Your in a foreign land...
But with
a man called Jack Sammy next to you
Things
were made easy to understand...

There is
this universal language
That
shines within His eyes ...
This man
became Our brother
And
walked right by our side...

It is an
honor to have known you
I am
proud to call you friend...
And
though you may not be here with me
Love and
prayers to you I send...
