In Loving Memory

IN LOVING MEMORY:
Frederick Edward Barton: August 25, 1961 - September 24, 2005

The NightsTthrough the Seasons: Brothers Forever

I’m surely going to miss you playing the way that brothers do:
running, shouting, climbing, hiding, even swinging too.
Through courage, strength, hope and love, always seeking to revive-
I’m surely going to miss you your fighting spirit to stay alive.

The nights through the seasons hours laid awake in talk-
planning our next move where it is that we would walk.
Laughter then sometimes silence, asking, “Are you still awake?”
There didn’t come an answer had to give a gentle shake.

Looking to you my hero you brought my days to life-
Knowing you were there seemed to melt away the strife.
It was when I’d wake in the morning to the start of each new day-
I knew I had powerful wings to fly and together we’d fly away.

You’ll always be in the falling snow also the soft crunching sound-
you’ll always be in the whispering winds and the leaves that blow around.
You’ll always be in the sound of rain that falls beautifully in gentle showers-
you’ll always be in the beautiful sunshine that shines endlessly for hours.

So when I miss you I’ll go outside and be reminded that you’re everywhere-
just like you a most generous being you’re now the world’s to share.
My love for you yet pierces my heart it still moves my eye to tear-
But that’s o.k. because in the end I know that you’re so near.

For you my beloved brother: Frederick Edward Barton.

I (WE) LOVE AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH.

Sincerely, Godwin H. Barton
