To a lost brother;
your mission was my mission
the possibility never far from my thought
your passing rends my senses
your sacrifice, tumultuous and final
what you leave is significant
your legacy shall be limited
only by those who lack your strength
your star a guide for those who follow
once was I where you too flew
through those blue skies
led by those who had gone before
your dedication as aircrew grew
Those who knew you shall
as those who did not
continue the missions, with honor
as if there is no change
but we all hurt a little more
and life became more real today
the day that the news came to us
that one of ours had gone away
your memory strengthens our bond
