For George Goodwin, A.L.S. for 16 years.

WHEN YOU THINK OF ME REMEMBER ME HAPPY
FULL OF JOY ..FORGET THE PAIN AND TEARS ..
ALS IS NOT OF A DEFINITION OF WHO OR WHAT
I AM ... NOT EVEN A DESCRIPTION OF MY LIFE
IT PROVED TO THE WORLD THAT I WAS STRONG
AND A FIGHTER OR I WOULDN’T HAVE MADE IT THIS FARE .. EVEN THOUGH MY BODY WILL GROW
WEAK AND MY DAY’S SHORT IT WILL NOT SLOW THE
LOVE IN MY HEART FOR MY FAMILY AND MY GOD..
I WILL GROW TIRED AND WEAK BUT I WILL NOT FALL .. I KNOW I WILL STAND STRONG WITH MY
HEAD HELD HIGH AGAIN .. I LEARN THAT THE DAY I FOUND OUT I HAD ALS.. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH ME AS I MAKE MY JOURNEY BUT REMEMBER I
WILL ALWAYS BE THERE IN EVERY BREEZE THAT BLOWS AND EVERY TIME YOU SEE A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET I 'LL BE THERE .. WATCH THEM AND ENJOY THEM AND KNOW MY LIFE WAS NOT A LOST BUT ONLY A GAIN .. HOW ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE TRUE BEAUTY OF LIFE IF NOT FOR
YOUR LOVE FOR ME .....
