Philip

I'll remember sunny days on the sand
I'll recall your smiling eyes
    With our kites in hand we walked the beaches
    With our kites explored God's clear blue reaches

I'll remember late nights playing cards
I'll recall us laughing hard
    Every hand we played became a lesson
    Counting trump on every trick was better that just guessing

Those days live in my mind again
They'll last forever and lift me through my pain

I'll remember bowling in the dark
I'll recall those moonlight doubles
    With your strong left arm you swept those pins away
    I'd give up both my arms to have you back today

Those days live in my heart again
They'll last forever and lift me though my pain
I love you Philip
Brother Philip
God hold you Phiip
I miss you Philip
   

My older brother, Philip,  was one of my best friends.  His untimely passing left me with a hole in my life.  This is my eulogy, and tribute to one of the best men God ever placed on this earth.
