DAVID JOHN EDMUND BURKE You left us quietly, although we longed for you to be here Your eyes told us you loved us, and that we should not fear The inviting smile, captured through your courage The gentleness of your voice, no anger or rage Although we were not with you, you knew we were not far Our bond never broken by the mere frailty of human bars Rest now dear brother among your familiar stars As you remain here with us, forever, in your sisters hearts A Dedication to Our Brother David Written by Jennifer Levy With love from Margaret, Frances and Jennifer.
